Our IKEA Trip....

First off, here's a pic of Pete's new Tattoo's. (yeah, I know...) Something about chickens and pigs and surviving a boat sinking.... I don't know......
Anyway, if you've never been to IKEA, you should go. It's an experience. It's a huge store. Two levels of parking underneath the store. One floor of showroom and one floor of self-service warehouse. There's several spaces in the showroom that shows how you can live in small spaces. You can walk through these spaces and everything is for sale... Here's a few picks...


In the garage, there are several of these boxes.. Free twine to tie your purchases to your vehicle...

The company is based in Scandinavian. Most of the showroom has Scandinavian books on the shelves.


There's a shopping cart escalator that takes you back down to the parking garages. There's also a cafeteria that serves a full breakfast for $0.99 and a day care. While you shop, you occasionally smell cinnamon rolls. Behind the registers, there's a little snack counter that sells hot dogs, ice cream, drinks and the best cinnamon rolls.
