Buffalo - A Bust

Jason and I decided to get out of the house this weekend and enjoy the nice weather.  We went toward Buffalo, MN.  We'd heard this place was known for a quaint little downtown with all sorts of thrift stores and random antiques, so we thought we'd make the 45 minute drive west to check it out on Sunday. 

It's true, it is a cute little town with a great view of a lake appropriately called Buffalo Lake, but nothing is open on Sunday!! We walked from shop to shop only to see 'Closed' sign on the doors.  It turns out some of the stores have bizarre hours.  One sign said, "Open the first Thursday through Saturday of each month."  What?  How does a business stay afloat with those hours?

There was one store open called, 'A Wreath of Franklin.'  Yea, I thought it was pretty funny too.  They did have all sorts of stuff for sale, including this turtle shaped foot rest lol, but it was all WAY over priced.  

So Buffalo was a bust for a Sunday afternoon but at least we were outside and it was a nice country drive  which are few and far between out here.  We did snap our picture near the lake.  Hopefully we'll have better luck next time lol.
