2nd largest yard sale in Tennessee

We had a fun "FAMILY" day today. Tennesse has 2 large yard sales every year. Today we went to the second largest yard sale they have which is almost 95 miles. The largest yard sale is in August (it is actually the world's largest yard sale). That yard sale covers 5 states and is 630 miles.
This is a pic of one of the many places we stopped to check out what they were selling. The kids really enjoyed it. I think the best buy today was an adjustable basketball hoop for the kids that we paid $2.00 for.

They have this yard sale every year to coincide with the Strawberry Festival. So we stopped at a strawberry patch and the kids picked strawberries. Everytime I turned around LoriAnne was eating the strawberries she picked.

Dave and Robyn continued to pick strawberries until they filled 6 baskets. The 3 little ones were getting tired so we waited on the "side lines" while Dave and Robyn worked :)

The weather was great which made for a perfect day! We are really enjoying living in Tennessee.

  1. That looks like so much fun! I have never heard of a yard sale that big. I bet I would have found lots of great deals. I am glad you are enjoying Tennessee although I miss seeing you all when we go to California to visit. I guess I will just have to come visit you in Tennessee.

  2. I use to pick strawberries when I was younger. We'd get paid for how many we'd pick. I never got paid much because I always ate more then I picked. They always got mad at me :) That yard sale looks crazy!!! I wouldn't last long that's for sure.
