As we approached the Sheet Metal Cowboy, we wondered if we made a wrong turn. Luckily, he was able to point us in the right direction!
This cowboy made of sheet metal sits outside Dixie Sheet Metal Works in Falls Church, VA. He’s posed as if he’s giving you directions down the street, which adds to his character. He wears a red button down shirt with a black belt, black hat, and black pants and is placed in a way that seems like he is guarding the building.
I fell in love with travel at a young age when my parents would take us on road trips around the country. I inherited my goal to see all 50 states from my dad and am currently at 32 (and counting) – which roughly translates to 1 state per year I’ve been alive 😉 When Dom and I started dating, we discovered our mutual love for travel and that sparked an interest in traveling together. We planned to travel part of Route 66 on our honeymoon and then East Coast trips, and day trips – the more obscure the destination, the better! While I may not be the one doing all the driving, I enjoy planning our routes, finding stops along our route, and navigating as we go. I’m also the one jumping between the front and back seat when we have our daughter – who took her first 12-state road trip at 6 months old – along for the ride. Aside from travel and my family, my other love is a good theme and the excuse to dress up for it.
