The lights were great, they had hot cocoa, and you could decorate a cookie with frosting. A good time was had by all. I don't think the Starbucks is original though.Rebekahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07760473145803208544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6328138894440374230.post-7650289026846703032012-04-26T19:09:33.543-04:002012-04-26T19:09:33.543-04:00I was there with my bestie in 2001!

Our first (and only, to date) weekend away from the kids. <br /><br />So yes, I've seen Rock City, although I didn't grow up in the vicinity of any of the barns.

I have a very good writer friend out here who grew up in New Mexico with an artist father who ran a place called Tinkertown. The place is still a roadside attraction although her father died several years ago. I'm always fascinated by her stories --<br /><br />(and yours!)Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03313726816776097840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6328138894440374230.post-5366272925462393882012-04-24T23:50:05.215-04:002012-04-24T23:50:05.215-04:00Oh, of course!
