Hampden Disappointment

I picked up Jax at Chrissy and Chase's this morning and we dashed on down to Baltimore for a Hampden Junque garage sale going on from 9 til 2pm. (We were hoping to locate the little brown ceramic car that would go with our blue and yellow ones.) We arrived at 1, it wasn't raining, we found a parking space, located the alley where the sale was going on where we saw Michal and some friends moving boxes in and out of a garage. I was super excited to have the chance to buy once more at our fave shop in Charm City. That's when they dropped the bombshell that they actually closed out the sale at noon. Terrific. They didn't bother to mention this on their Instagram account and we drove all the way there for freakin' nothing. We were so disappointed. We scowled and walked back to the car then headed to Atomic Books, our new number one fave shop in Baltimore. Jax wasn't allowed in because he's under ten (grrrr....) but the nice man that worked there, Benn, kept an eye on Jackson and chatted with him about books while I picked up some goodies. Then we went to MOM's for a sushi bowl and snacks, drove to the top floor of the Rotunda parky garage and had a front seat car picnic. Our day didn't go as we had planned but we both made the best of it and had a great time together, as always.
