Mommy & Daddy's Trip

Okay, so this isn't a blog really about Kyndal. Let's just call it a Mommy blog.

Yes, we did miss Kyndal. The first night when we where still in the house without her was weird. This was our first night in the house alone without her since her birth. Okay, got that out of the way...info that follows is about our great trip.

Friday night we ate a P.F. Changs, thanks to Cheryl and John for our Christmas GC. Bret made reservations, good think since the waiting list for walk ins was 70 mins. We arrived a bit early so only had to wait 30. Dinner was fab, we were stuffed. Also were both very clumsy, reminded us of our dating days. We were off to the movie, only to find out that it was sold out. Huh, reminded us of our dating days! LOL! So we came home and packed.

Up at 6am to drive to Hotlanta. It was a nice drive, although we were pretty quiet during the trip down. We got there around 12 Atlanta time and we went to the Container store. Bret liked it too, although not as Enamored as I am. Got out of there under 100 bucks. We also popped in Restoration Hardware for some of the glass cleaner that they sell.



We went to Marietta Square for lunch and ate at the Marietta Pizza kitchen and walked around the square a bit. Then to the hotel to check in. Wasn't much longer before I had to register for my seminar.

The seminar was fab too. I had a great time and learned a lot. I was so inspired by the wonderful photographer that held the seminar. She built her business up from her master bedroom and now has 24 employees and is building a 20,000 sq ft dream studio. That and she has 4 kids.

We slept in that next morning checked out and were planning on getting breakfast and then shopping at IKEA. We never found breakfast along the way, so we decided to shop first. They we arrived at IKEA, HOLY HUGE! I could not believe my eyes! That place was the biggest I have every seen. We went in and they have a restaurant, so we had breakfast after all, for 6 bucks for both of us! This place was amazing, for those who have been to an IKEA, why haven't you told me what I was missing. For those who haven't, you are missing something. It is kid friendly, green, and the biggest store we have ever shopped at. We however didn't get out of there under 100 bucks, in fact it wasn't even under $200 bucks.

This is about 1/4 of the building, no way could I get the whole thing in one shot.


So then we headed home. We had a ton to talk about on our way home. The seminar, IKEA, how we would be broke if we lived in Atlanta.

Met Mom and Dad, picked up Kyndal, stopped at Publix for superbowl food. Got home minutes before the kick-off. Ah, busy fun time!
