Re-visiting the Northern Neck

So Thrifty Mom , my girls, and I spent a day last week thrifting in the Northern Neck as we did in the fall. Here is a link to last year's excursion. This time we were able to go to one more thrift shop than we did last time and re-visited all of the others that we loved so much. We didn't hit a $5 a bag sale, but we did get A LOT of goodies! We also lucked out by one of the locals telling us about a lil' lunch spot on the Potomac river in Fairport. It was called the Cull Ring and we ordered the most de-lish basket of fried dill pickles served with a mayo/mustard sauce as our appetizer. As we were eating our crabcake sandwiches, fried shrimp, and turkey croissant on the porch of the restaurant, along came a lil' crab crawling by our feet. The waitress acted like it happened all of the time.

Here's the front side of the Cull Ring

and the back side.
