My life consists traveling a lot for work, but every now and then I get to travel for fun. When I’m really lucky, it’s with my honey. This past Saturday, we took a road trip to Cumming, GA to visit the Lakewood Antiques 400. It used to be in downtown Atlanta at one of the amphitheatre grounds. I forget which one. Anyway, B and I decided to drive out and give it a whirl. It’s been about 8 or 9 years since the last time I was out there. B had never been. It was… well, the important thing is that we had a good time. Which we did.
We saw some interesting things.
Some dead things.
All that's missing is a full moon?
Some really poorly taxidermied dead things.
And something we would have taken home if it hadn’t cost an arm and a leg.
It’s a kick ass boomerang coffee table.
That’s top swings out.
And reveals a bar! It was in terrific shape, still had the key that locked the cabinet to store the liquor and cost about $1600. We kept our hands to ourselves and moved along. ::sigh::
We saw some cool stuff and some weird stuff and had a good time walking around. But overall, we were underwhelmed with Lakewood. However, the day and the trip itself? It was great just getting to spend time together.
I took a few more pictures. You can see the rest of them here.

I’ll take a wild guess and say the Lakewood 400 would have been held at the Lakewood Amphitheater. You know, just a wild guess.

I can’t believe you passed up that sweet stuffed…cat…thing.
