IKEA Field Trip

A pretty uneventful weekend.  The weather here is worse than Seattle - it's been in the 40s and raining pretty much the entire time we've been here so far.  Today is better, it's party cloudy and maybe 55 and not raining.  We keep getting reports from Minnesota that it's in the 70s and 80s, go figure. 

Friday night we had a family movie night with popcorn and m&ms and just laid low.  Saturday morning we ran around trying to figure out our cheapest rental car options to get us to Tuesday when we purchase the Accord and then after naps we drove into Nurnburg to IKEA to see what we could purchase there for our house.  Even though everything was in German we had a successful trip and left feeling that we can furnish our place pretty nicely for a reasonable amount of money.  Sunday we took the kids to an indoor park here in Graf, which was quite large and had wide variety of things for the kids to do, especially considering how small the town is.  We followed this up with a really expensive asian dinner (it was good, but we won't be going back there for a while due to the cost).  I've spent most of today running around trying to get the paperwork done for the vehicle.  Just a huge pain, luckily Haaken has been great.  Off to get the kids from school.

  1. See, it's all getting better just like it always does. Thanks for putting the pictures up there. It helps give perspective. The PX parking lot looks just like Target, a lot of American SUV's. Keep putting more pictures up, especially the hills and castles you were talking about.
