Road Trip to the Big Basket












Now that Spring has arrived it's time for some road trips! My first of the year was to my favorite spot, Longaberger! We traveled to Longaberger on our first bus trip of 2009 and got to help Longaberger kickoff their Spring Fling weekend!

We traveled by chartered bus and had a blast with 43 fun loving ladies! The weather was perfect, no rain and in the mid 60's!

We drove past the breath taking 5 story market basket building, which continues to thrill and amaze me no matter how many times I see it!

Our first stop was Longaberger Homestead, an unbelieveable shopping and entertainment destination. Home to the World's Largest Apple Basket!

We shopped the incredible factory store filled with retired baskets and pottery at unbelieveable prices!

Had lunch in the Crawford Barn, yummy lemon almond chicken salad!



And then it was on to the quaint little town of Dresden, home to many independently owned shoppes.



Our last stop of the day is one of my new favorties, The Retired Basket Shoppe, located directly across the street from Longaberger Homestead. Lisa and her Mom, the shop owners are such sweeties, they come out to greet the bus with a Longaberger Basket full of cookies and each person on the bus receives a discount on two items!

Here's a shot of my buddies inside the Retired Basket Shop: Ginger, myself, Sallie and beautiful little Kylie, who is officially hooked on baskets! She has already woven two baskets and this is only her second trip to Longaberger! Sallie has an adorable slate tile in her hand to go on her WI stand that's in her yard to replace her Christmas one she got at the Retired Basket Shoppe when we were there in Decemeber.


If you haven't ever joined us for a trip, you don't know what you are missing! It's such a great Girls Day! Our next trip is Saturday, June 20th, the 2009 American Summer Celebration Tour and I would love for you to join us!
