I’ve been promoted from superhero seamstress to superhero!

I just had to share how fun the Superman Festival in Metropolis, IL is. It’s a smalltown affair, but they have a large variety of yummilicious food carts, oodles of superhero collectibles, a myriad of costumed characters, and of course the Superman Museum where I took this picture of Delilah’s superhero friend. #DelilahTales

My mannequin needs to get a cape now 🙂

And what were my superhero duties you may ask?

This was my boyfriend’s surprise birthday getaway. We drove 5 hours there and 5 hours back all in one day. Because it’s in the middle of absolutely nowhere, he didn’t know where we were going until we took the exit. How perfect!

So if you’re looking for a unique and geeky event, check out the Superman Festival for smalltown charm and super activities 🙂

    1. Haha food, food, and more food… and the occasional treadmill 😛 haha, maybe you’re joking or maybe it’s not obvious from the photo, but that’s one of those cardboard cutout things to stand behind and take a picture, not my actual body 😉 I wish though!

        1. Haha okay, long day at work and my mind wasn’t fully functioning to tell 😛 I can tell you if you don’t wanna be that ripped, food is a good deterrent 😉
