Ikea by Lori

This afternoon (monday) we decided that we HAD to go to Ikea to get Nathan some bedding for his blow-up bed that will be here this week. So last minute we ran out of the apartment before it closed. We (me, Steve and Emily. Nathan stayed home-bad stomach ache.) got on the subway till it almost it almost ended-about the 9th stop. During our trip it started to snow but not real bad. We hopped on a bus that dropped us of a block from Ikea. We got in and were lost for about the first half our. We found the quilt tops and then the quilt. Then we got lost again. We finally found all (plus more) that we were looking for and left over an hour later. We checked out and decided we needed some food to take home too and filled up another bags worth of stuff. All of our arms were totally full as we made our way out into a snow storm. We got to the bus stop and got on the bus that was already packed full of people. It was a great moment when we finally got to the subway and we all exploded off the bus. When we got off the subway it was still snowing hard. Not the dry kind of snow thats in Utah but the wet kind that totally soaks you. After we walked about 1/4 mile back to our apartment, all 3 of us were drenched and cold. One thing I did learn is to buy smaller and go to the closest subway there is in a snow storm. But it was tons of fun and I can't wait to go back!
