Once we’d paid and our children were getting increasingly loud and rambunctious (mostly mine), we headed back toward downtown and stopped in at the library because it’s basically impossible for me to pass a library in a small town and not check it out.
It was a cute little library with lots of good book displays and a table of puzzles, plus it was nice and warm, which was important to me since I was freezing without a coat on.
And then we walked around the corner for one more foodie stop – Matthew’s Chocolates. Because obviously we hadn’t had enough food yet.
Also, it was almost Valentine’s Day and what could be more romantic than buying yourself an expensive chocolate with two small children in tow?
It was the most darling little shop (it reminded me of somewhere you’d see in London), and after we asked a thousand questions about the most popular items and the clerk’s recommendations, we eventually selected chocolate suckers for the little girls, and Jessica and I each ordered a truffle and a cluster each (I picked the pecan praline cluster and a citrus caramel truffle, both of which were delicious, although the truffle was the clear winner).

Over the last week Derek and I have realized that there were a lot more places we wanted to eat at here before we left, and Hillsburough BBQ is now added to the list!

If you happen to go back on a warm day, there's a park a stone's throw away – just around the curve of the road past the railroad trestle.
