Yesterday Joel and I felt like we were back in California, all thanks to the power of chain stores. He had a day off, so we went down to IKEA in Atlanta. We are attempting to re-work some areas of the house and provide more storage. Lily was pretty patient as we wandered the acres of showrooms, munching on piles of Cheerios and other snacks. She ran around quite a bit, too. We stopped for lunch in their cafeteria after sensing a near-meltdown in the Closet Organizer section, and resumed our shopping afterward. Lily and Daddy played in the children's department, where Lily discovered a giant hedgehog chair that was perfect for running up to and jumping on, as well as lots of other things to play with. We finished up our shopping and headed home, with a scheduled stop in the town of Marrietta. We discovered that Marrietta is possibly the best shopping area East of the Mississippi. Why? Trader Joe's AND TCBY. Wooo hooo!!! We stopped and stocked up on some favorites at TJ's, which we have missed since moving from California. And then, frozen yogurt. Mmmmmmm. I suspect that any future trips to Atlanta, IKEA, or anywhere else down the 75 will incorporate a trip to beautiful Marrietta.
Today is a beautiful day, and we are going to work on packing for our trip, straightening up, and maybe putting some of our IKEA finds together. I'm sure the sunshine will also call us outside for a nice walk.
