Day seven of our road trip to San Diego, stop 3.
Sarah and I are total suckers for the odd. It doesn't take much for us to be convinced that this or that attraction is worth adding another hour to our drive. But hell, in the nine days it's taking us to drive to California, what's another hour?
Sarah was reading, but when I passed the billboard telling me that an Action Figure Museum was coming up in a few miles, all I could think of was the first time I Facebook stalked Sarah and saw pictures of her posing at some festival with some dudes wearing Transformer masks. I knew this detour would please.
The small town of Pauls Valley is pretty cute. You've got the bank on the corner, the insurance office next to it, a diner across the street, and the packed full antique shop right there in the mix too. Within minutes we found the museum, its storefront filled with figures all facing the sidewalk provoking passersby.
Now, since it was President's Day, downtown was shut up tight, as tight as the Incredible's tights. The museum was closed.
We looked inside through the windows for a few minutes, and marveled at the large collection, noticed the arrangement, and really wished we had caught it on a different day.
It might be a year before we're making the trek from Oklahoma City to San Antonio, but when we do... we're stopping here.
Tip: explore the rest of downtown, the people are nice and the shops are worth the time.
