This weekend, Man-Cub and I went down to Denver with his roommate and his girlfriend. On the way down, we discussed going to the Denver science museum, but that was before Sweden sucked us in. We listened to some ABBA on the way to IKEA, and ended up getting lost in all of IKEA's wonders.
This was the roommate and his girlfriends first time to visit IKEA and they thought I was weird for being so excited. Two hours later, they seemed to appreciate my excitement a little more. Seriously. We walked through all the displays wishing our apartments could look as cool as they do. Then we went to get some lunch.
The Swedish meatballs were just as good as I had remembered and impressed everyone else as well. AND all that food was only about seven dollars. As college kids, we greatly appreciate that.
And Man-Cub and his roommate (in a not so flattering picture) also enjoyed their free baby food (which was actually apple sauce) with the purchase of their adult meals. We then got to walk through the actual trinket/warehouse area. Three out of four of us got sucked in to buying a thing or two.
I got some 99 cent hangers and a cheese slicer. While both were needed, I was simply excited to scan my IKEA family card!!!! And yes, I actually got to scan, because we used the self-checkout which meant we got to use the little scanner beeper thing and not just the table scanner that King-Soopers has. WAY cooler, and practically a dream come true for me. :) After purchasing our trinkets, we got sucked in to the other cafe where the boys got 50 cent hotdogs and both couples split 1$ cinnamon rolls. IKEA, you are awesome.
After a very fun two hours at IKEA, we crossed the street to Park Meadows mall where the only successful find was a Sephora purchase made by the other girlfriend. I was a tad jealous, but just couldn't justify 30$ for another brush, or 17$ for some glitter eye shadow. Maybe one day.
We then left to find a little bit more of Sweden and ventured to 16th Street in downtown Denver to find H&M. We were quite tired so stopped for a Starbucks, which was wise considering we didn't know what was ahead of us. I've never been so disappointed to walk out of a store without buying anything, but Man-Cub and his roommie hit the jackpot!
The other girlfriend and I spent about an hour and half running to and from the change room, but the boys left quite happy. Especially Man-Cub with his two new suites, two dress shirts, and two hoodies. He was VERY pleased with the prices of his purchase and the way the European style seemed to fit. He looked very handsome in his new clothes, so I'm sure you will see a real picture of them in the not too distant future...just as long as we find an occasion for him to wear them.
After the boys had finished their shopping, we realized we had only five minutes left to run back to the car and fill the meter. While running down 16th Street at night, I couldn't help but make us all stop for some adorable Kodak moments.
The pictures were taken in a rush, but it was a fun way to end the adventure. We were all kinda tired when we arrived to the car, so we just decided to head home. We ordered a delicious pizza and were given a second large one for only 3$ when we went to go pick up ours. Thanks pizza people!!! We took our pizza and settled in for the night with some good food, good company, and a weird movie (Rango).
All in all, I would call it a successful weekend! And today was homework day (boooo) starting into midterms week. Luckily, spring break starts on Friday when Man-Cub and I venture off to Nash-Vegas to find my sister and her new fiance. Now just to make it through the week.
Hope your weekend was relaxing!!! :)
