Weekend shopping

On Saturday we drove down to Bakersfield and did some shopping. We hit up Sam's Club, Walmart and Ashley Furniture and were pretty successful at all three places. :-) Gabe was a trooper and was very patient through it all.



At Sam's Club, we got a new printer/scanner (our old one didn't survive the move). We also got a bunch of bulk food and household goods. Good thing we drove the van - although we probably could have squeezed everything in the car. After Sam's we grabbed lunch quick at Farmer Boy's - a Culver's type fast food restaurant. The food was pretty good, but a little expensive for fast food. Walmart was more groceries and household stuff. Nothing too exciting.



At Ashley Furniture, we looked around for quite a while then finally decided to go ahead and order the things we liked. We got a counter height table with 6 stools.

The table has a butterfly leaf, which we really like. When the leaf is out, it's a big square table. The 6 stools fit around nicely, even without the leaf in.

We also ordered a sleeper sofa. (Hopefully it will get a lot of use from the many visitors we hope to have!)

Turns out, that same morning my mom ordered the same sofa and chair (although just a regular sofa - not a sleeper) in the same color as we did. Too funny.

Unfortunately the sofa sleeper was not in stock in their warehouse so it could take 5-7 weeks to get all of our furniture, but hopefully it comes in sooner.

After we finished at Ashely, we headed back to Tehachapi, with a quick stop at a farmer's maket for some fresh apples, oranges, almonds, and walnuts. We had dinner at an Italian restaurant in town, then headed home. But the shopping was not done yet - we ordered some stuff from Amazon when we got home, including a new cell phone for me, a mount for the tv in our bedroom and some fun orange luggage (since we will be flying a lot more now).
