More Shopping

Friday, 7 December 2007

We went shopping again today, but this time I introduced Chris to IKEA. We spent a few hours there, eating swedish meatballs and exploring each department of the relatively new store in West Sacramento. We also went to the other mainland stores that we don't have in Hawai'i: Target and Linens N Things, etc. Chase was super-spit-up-baby all day today, from the moment we tried to put him in the car, to getting out of the car seat, to walking around the stores. It may have been due to the Mexican food I ate yesterday. We all went through several changes of clothing before we even got out of the house. I even caught a couple tablespoons in my hand when I wasn't wiping milk off the kitchen floor, carpet, or sofa.

We went out to dinner with Chris' friend Cami, a gal he used to work with at the bike shop back home. She lives and works as an attorney for the state now. We had a great meal at the swanky 33rd Street Bistro in Midtown, an area of downtown Sacramento. Chase was the hit of the restaurant. Our waitress held him at every chance she could get, showing him off to the others. He got a little ansy midway through dinner though, but the beautifully decorated Christmas tree was a great distraction for him. He wanted to touch all the colorful ornaments and put the red ribbon in his mouth.
