is NOT Disneyland for me. It's IKEA (Disney is a close second though).
I'd never been inside any IKEA store, just shopped on-line. That is until Wednesday when I went with Kristi. It's truly a wonderland. I was not disappointed.
We've been looking for a coffee table for our front room at Goodwill and craigslist. Even resale they were about $100. I found a finished, wood one at IKEA for $29.99. Hummmm. 100 smacks for used OR 30 for NEW???? No question really.
Ben and I decided that the next time we go we'll:
*drop kids off at the FREE play place (only for an hour though. But....HEY....it's an hour!)
*cruse around the store
*buy above said item
*eat alone =D
*get kids and feed them
*since the kids will want to see the kid display area, we'll take them there
*load piece of furniture, the children and leave
What a great date place! Who could ask for more? Free child care, shopping and food! YEA!

I was truly honored to be with you during your first Ikea experience..I'm glad you thought about it! Although it's hard to believe that you'd never been to one before! It's too bad we didn't have more time. Hopefully when you go with Ben, you'll get to look around even more!
I *heart* IKEA. I could easily walk around that place for an hour or more! We're getting one of their bookshelf units for our new house. A little tip: if you are going to buy smaller items, bring your own bags because IKEA charges something like 7 cents per bag.
And yay for getting to eat there. They have yummy food!
Man!!! I've yet to go - but I really must!
We LOVE Ikea...especially Maddie! She sits in the cart and calls out to everyone, "IKEA! IKEA!" (just in case they weren't aware of where they were, I guess). Maddie could spend half the day in their children's toy area upstairs. Free entertainment! :-)
Oh, since I know you like molasses cookies, you've GOT to try their thin ginger cookies--YUMMY!!
I love IKEA too...the first time I went was in Seattle and left 4 hours later! We've been to the new one a couple times. Dave and I have this thing where we bet to see who is going to say "cute" or "dude" (male version of cute) more often. We lose count half way through the store!
