Lego my Queso . . .
Since it’s supposed to rain tomorrow, we all headed out about 1pm to the Caesar Creek Flea Market right down the road. With almost 160,000 sq. ft. of indoor space, it’s one of the largest flea markets in the Midwest.
In addition, they’ve got over 500 outside vendor spaces too, selling your more typical flea market stuff, used bikes, dishes, crafts, and old tools.
The inside vendors are more like your typical stores, with new merchandise, as well as antiques.
They did have one area set up with a very large Lego exhibit, showing what can be done with these little blocks.
We spent about an hour checking out the outside vendors first, as a number of them were starting to pack up due to the heat, and incoming T-storms.
Then it was inside to the nice, cool AC, and row after row of pretty much everything from tires to ATV’s to old books. It took us another couple of hours to check out all the inside vendors. But after all that the only one of us that bought anything was Jan, who bought some small cars for Landon. But we had a good time even so.
Leaving the flea market and heading into Wilmington proper, we stopped by the Post Office to mail some letters before deciding on El Dorado Mexican Restaurant for dinner.
The lady that cut Jan’s hair the other day said it was really good and Yelp gave it 4-1/2 stars so we thought we’d give it a chance. And we’re glad we did.
Everyone was really happy with what they had.
Jan had the Pollo Loco platter.
And I had the Chili Verde. My Verde (green) sauce was really good, and really spicy.
Even the chips and salsa, and the cheese dip were excellent.
FYI Here up north they call it ‘cheese dip’. In Texas we call it Queso. But if they take their ‘cheese dip’ and put meat in it (usually chorizo), then it sudden becomes Queso Fundido. Which is the same thing we call that in Texas.
We’ll go back.
Our daughter Brandi sent over this photo of a friend’s two kids that came over to play with Landon. The photo’s not too good because there was too much light from the windows behind them. But I thought it was hilarious how they’re playing together. Look what’s propped up in from of the them.
Tomorrow looks to be a stay home day with some really bad weather rolling through, leading to our next cool front Monday and Tuesday with highs in low 70’s and lows in the low 50’s for two or three days. Nice.
