We both slowly get into the car. Stomachs so full from eating so much food.

For the places I have planned, we need to have our food settle down first. I think going to a thrift store would be fun. Plus, who doesn't like looking through shelved trash. I sure do.

I look down at my phone. It's 11:38 a.m. Which is a perfect amount of time before we head to our last stop.

"How do you feel about going to a thrift store?" I say looking up directions for one nearby.

"Oh hellll yes! This is amazing!! This right here is my dream and it's only 11:40 IN THE MORNING!" She said in one breathe.

This? Like Us? Or the thrifting?

She probably just means the thrifting.

I look up 'Goodwill near me' as quick as I can, so she doesn't have to wait any longer.

As we walk in the front door, the little bell on the door rang. Earning a "Hello! Welcome to Goodwill" from on of the workers deep in the store. Making me enterally jump.

Nevertheless, we went straight to the T-shirts. Us both are a sucker for a good vintage Tee.

While flipping through the sorted shirts on the rack, Lily laughs and holds up a t-shirt.

I laugh, then I pull out my camera again. Getting another photo.

We are walking out of this place with a set of matching overalls that were on sale.

I'm trying to find a place to put our stuff before I start to drive. Putting our cameras, water, our jackets into a small drawstring bag for later today in the back seat.

As I'm doing so, I feel like someone is watching me... so I look up and make eye contact with Lily.

I tilt my head and ask, "What's wrong? Something on my face?" in an attempt at figuring out why she is staring.

"Come here"

I put the bag down on the ground of the back seat and hop into the drivers seat, "Alright."

"I am having a great time, and I feel like you have more planned but I'm so happy right now." She said with the prettiest smile.

I tried to contain my self by simply saying, "I'm glad." with a smile. "and I have much more planned"
