A Sweet Adventure

 Daddy John is taking a couple of the boys out for the day.

Scot-Michael: Well, Nickels, ready for our little road trip?
Nicholas Sahara: I am, rather.  A little jolly is just the tonic we need.

Soon, after an uneventful car ride...

Nicholas and Scot-Michael: We're here!  We're here!

Where, exactly, is here?

(Can you see the boys in the lower right corner of the sign?)

(A stunned silence)

Scot-Michael and Nicholas: Whooooooaaaaaa...

Nicholas: Have a butcher's hook at all these sweets!
Scot-Michael: I think we've died and gone to heaven...

A TARDIS mock-up! Daddy John, an avowed Doctor Who nut, had to take a photo.


Nicholas: Blimey!  The selection!
Scot-Michael: Americans take their candy seriously.  Er, 'Boogers' notwithstanding...


Scot-Michael: We are so never telling Frank about this place.
Nicholas: Oh my giddy aunt, no!  We'd never get the poor lad out!

Home again.  After their sugar buzz wore off, the boys conked out for a backyard snooze.

Oh what a paradise! The boys must have been paralyzed! This is simply the best place of the world!
Your garden stools are gorgeous.

The boys are promising to escort you there the next time you come to MN, Auntie Marti!

That place looks amazing! (And I’m not a huge candy fan—dark chocolate for me please). The last photo is so precious. The angle the boys are sitting sums up the story perfectly.

WOW ! So much to chose from ! The boys were so good , mine would have been dragging boxes down and filling the trolley !

They looked so small against the sign ! Does look like they had a great time checking out and eating plenty of candy.

And even a chance to see the Tardis ! Dr Who was probably stocking up on sweets for his next adventure!

I'm more of a chocolate lover but my kids would love to find such a store around here!

My kids were yelling they'd run to Minnesota, and when I pointed out this could be difficult, they decided they'd swim - so don't be surprised when an unknown, slightly moist Sasha or Gregor stands on your doorstep to ask for that escort...
