Trip to Ikea and Italian Bistro

Today we took a drive 2 1/2 hours into Michigan to go to Ikea. The drive wasn't too bad and Canton, Michigan was a really nice, well-kept town. We got just a few things at Ikea, a coffee table, a shelf, and some accessories, and that was about it. Afterwards we went to an electronics warehouse but were quickly scared off by the abundance of leering salesmen obviously on commission.

Drive into Michigan

Ikea! Why can't you be closer?

Go Sweden!

This was the image on one of the fake tv's at Ikea.

It is a UF vs. UT game with the logos on the helmets poorly edited out, and Crowder has been changed to Bowder. Poor guy.

We got back to Fort Wayne by seven and drove out to eat at Panera, only to change our minds last minute and eat at the Pizza Hut (otherwise known as the Italian Bistro according to the sign) across the street. Wow, was that a mistake. There was a buffet, and let me tell you, there is nothing like fighting off all the vultures for stale pizza. Things got even better when I was ready for my dessert pizza and we sat and waited about thirty minutes for one to be put out. The pizza putter-outter guy said a chocolate one was on the way, but another ten minutes later, I gave up. Of course, it whizzed by us as we were paying our bill at the front. I wanted to cry the experience was so bad. What were we thinking? At least the ambiance was nice. ha. ha. We sat next to a family taking up two large booths with rather large children singing "We in the club...It's goin' down." They also pumped their fists in the air after they would finish a plate of pizza.

That was our day today. Our apartment is about 90% done, so I will be posting pics of that tomorrow. Just want to put up the shelf we bought first.
