I hope you don’t mind if I sprinkle in a bit more of our Austin trip… While there, we stopped in Big Top Candy Shop. This SoCo sweet shop is an old-fashioned candy and soda fountain shop chocked full of goodies! Candies from your youth. Candies from around the world. More than you can even imagine, and it’s all surrounded in fun, vintage carnival sideshow decor.

Kacey tried the hottest chocolate in the world while I sampled the double bacon chocolate bar. I love bacon, but this… I dunno. I couldn’t get past the chewiness on the inside. 

Behind the cash register, back against the wall is a wonderful wall of speakers. All sizes. And all sorts of fun. And speaking of cash registers… this one was super cool. See the gold box in the pic below? It’s the computer screen. You can see the screen’s reflection in the mirror all the way to the right beneath the clown.
