A trip to the Cadillac Museum and Cotton Gin

Posted on September 4, 2009 by egiles

On Thursday, Alden, Grand D., and I saddled up and trekked to Burton to visit the Cadillac Museum.  It was a very nice drive.  We passed the thousands of antique shops that were all closed.  Darn, we were looking forward to buying that Armoir circa 1960.

When we made it to the museum it was closed!  Their website had stated that it was open daily, but with the downturn in the economy, I guess they are only open on the weekends.  We saw an old guy out front in his Lotus Elise who could have been Sterling-McCall himself.  Dad asked him and he said it’s only open on the weekends.  Shucks!  We’ll have to try again on a weekend.

On the way back we stopped at the country’s oldest working cotton gin.  We got to peek at the building and stroll through the visitor’s center, picking up some free stuff, and Grand D. bought some post cards.  Tours are only at 10 and 2, so we’ll have to head back for that one too.

Alden was falling asleep on the way home, even though he wanted to go to Fireman’s Park.  Approaching lunch time and Alden falling asleep, we headed home and I tried getting Alden out of the car while he was falling asleep.  I made it to put him in his bed, then he saw and heard mommy.  He got his second wind and then ate some lunch before nap time.
