So keeping with the 365 Things to do in Austin blog and also under the recommendation of my technician at Walgreen's, we decided to drive down to South Congress for some shopping and specifically to check out the Big Top Candy Shop. Can I just say WOW! Ian was in awe from the moment he got in there. He couldn't believe how much candy there was. He just stared! So we took a bag and started filling it with all things gummy and crunchy and chocolately and yummy! My personal favorite is the gummy snake! It seems Auntie Jen was a bit leery of it! hee hee! We also noticed while we were there that there were camera people there filming something. I then saw that it was the Food Network and the guy they were filming was Adam Gertler who was on Season 4 of The Next Food Network Star. They were working on a new show that will air in July called [i]Kid in a Candy Shop[/i] which seems super appropriate! So we continued our shopping and noticed that filming had slowed and the store had cleared a bit when Jen reached for a Charleston Chew to which Adam said, "Those are my favorite." And thus, our photo op. He spoke first so I felt like it was okay to ask! So we had a brush with celebrity while we were there and got some yummy candy to boot!
