Texarkana - "Twice as Nice"

In order to do any shopping shopping we have to travel somewhere. There is not much around here for us.  No malls, target, sams, costco, etc.  Super walmart is pretty much it!  Anyway, the closest places are a little over an hour away.  We went to Longview awhile back and decided to head out to Texarkana this past weekend.  They have a "unique" post office because it sits right on the border of Texas and Arkansas. It has two different zip codes. The city's motto is "Twice as Nice". They have two of everything since it's in two different states. 

So we made our way out and went downtown so we could take our pictures on the border line.  The kids were not in the mood for it. All they wanted to do was run around. So needless to say there weren't many pictures taken.  It wasn't as special as I thought it would be.  But then again I honestly didn't know what to expect. 

When we went to go do a little shopping we got a bit lost. We knew where we were it was just a little confusing trying to get to our destination.  So that made up Todd's vote on where he'll go next time.  The downer for me about the whole thing, there was no Super Target, just Target. Sad I know.  Longview, Tx beats out Texarkana.  It was a nice little family trip though.  We enjoyed our little memorial day outing.
