Home Sweet Home"

Well we made it safely home from our "East Coast Tour", we were completely lax the last few days in Connecticut but here are a few highlights:

Stew Leonards

Brett got to visit one of my favorite grocery stores- Stew Leonards. He loved it...
Really it shouldn't be called a grocery store, its a dairy (worlds largest dairy in a grocery store- you can actually see milk being bottled), petting zoo featuring farm animals, ice cream shop- using their fresh dairy of course, bakery, cheese store, meat dept, ect ect. Brett described it accurately as Disney world meets grocery store, complete with dancing bananas.....Yes.. Dancing Bananas... We ate so many samples of free food that we were STUFFED by the end of the experience, but of course we always have a little room for their ice cream!!!




Trader Joes


Brett got to visit Trader Joes also for the first time, a pretty cool grocery store also with lots of reasonably priced healthy and all natural products.... I miss grocery shopping on the East Coast- can you tell?? lol :) At Trader Joes Brett discovered his new love in life- Chocolate Macademia Nut Laceys- seriously if any of you live near a Trader Joes bring them if you ever visit Brett, he will love you forever. I tried to find them online when I got home but no luck...


Ikea
We also visited my favorite furniture store- IKEA, kinda like a modern/minimalistic/high quality/Walmart furniture... ITs awesome!! Brett was impressed and quickly claimed he is going to have an IKEA room.
Ryan like our shirts????
Thankfully we were able to fly standby all the way home today and got back about 8 hours ahead of schedule and about 24 hours ahead of our luggage..lol :) Tomorrow we return to our semi-normal lives, until Friday when we head to Bolivar to visit Bretts family (minus Sherry and Bing who are on an Alaskan cruise!!! :) wow!!) and then to Kansas on Monday to see my family. Brett or I will post later to tell you all about Lion King on broadway, Serendipity 3, MOMA, Guggenhiem, and Rockefellar Center..
