The Journey
The small, midwestern family had been tormented by fevers, runny noses and days of rain. Bored and on each others' nerves, they set out in their Conestoga station wagon for the Swedish-American home improvement mecca.
They encountered many hardships. Traffic. Lost binkies. Bad radio. But soon, they reached the land of elk and knew that they were drawing closer to their final destination.
It was the Swedish-American promised land. It was...Ikea.
The family frolicked in the land of affordable home goods. They laid down in the green pastures big girl beds, ate of the meatballs, played in the SmaLand, and saw that it was good.
Laden with Lingonberry soda, Lillabo, Minnen, Bumerang, and Anno Inez, they returned to their prairie-home, joyful and content.

OMG we were there too! Can't beat the $1.99 breakfast and good coffee. We must have passed you as we walked, nay, ran, past the frolicking kids on our way to cheap media storage!

Isn't Ikea a wonderful family outing! My kids and I often head there on days when we want a bit of adventure ... although my 7yo is on to me and warns me not to spend too much money ... ya think he's been listening to his daddy, lol!

So sweet, and beautiful pictures. I'm glad a little Swedish style could revive you from colds and the weather blahs. IKEA always works magic on me, too.

Would you believe I lived like one mile from an Ikea when I lived in Dallas and never went to visit it??? I bet there is one somewhere here.. maybe not.
I bet you have the best time at places like that. I would just like to go to Home Depot Expo with you!
I love the rain pic. Could she be any cuter? um.. no.

I love Ikea! I always hit it when we go out to Chicago.
The expression on your daughter's face on the big girl bed is priceless! She's beautiful!
