Scrapbook Shopping in Tampa

What a fun day we had yesterday, went to two scrapbook stores in Tampa. Started the day by waking up Riley as soon as I got to the apartment, and I mean I woke him up. He usually has his eyes open when I go in to get him but this morning he was all curled up in the corner of his crib just enjoying dreamland and this mean monster came and pulled him out of the crib. He didn't even want to open his eyes and just kept scrunching his face up, very cute.


Got him fed, bathed, and dressed, and we were all ready to go when Tammy showed up. Drove over the Jodi and Robert's, put the carseat in their car and we were off. Didn't hit much traffic and the first scrapbook store was very easy to find. They had lots of stuff and it was a huge store. We were the only ones there the whole time. Robert walked to a farmers market type store and got some mango salsa and cuban bread so we were all happy. Most of all Riley because he was out of his carseat and being pushed in the stroller, although I think he would have liked to have been running around the store.


Then it was off to the next scrapbook store. This is where the fun on the road started. We had to go up around the airport and the road was a mess. Left exits and right exits and we were always in the wrong lane but we finally made it to our exit and all was well. Had no problems finding this store either and again lots of stuff but very crowded here. Still found stuff we had to have.

By this time we were all pretty hungry especially the little boy. Stopped at Chick-fil-a for lunch and although Riley wanted our sandwiches he was very happy with his ravioli and sweet potatoes and carrots. I don't think I have ever seen him eat so fast, he was very hungry. Now that our bellies were full it was time to head home. The ride home was very uneventful and went pretty quickly. All in all it was a great day.
