IKEA Adventure


This past weekend we travelled up to Woodbidge, VA (south of Washington DC) to the closest IKEA. We needed a lot of new furniture for our new house, so we drove up North and did some powerbuying. We found some great deals there on playroom and bedroom furniture. We did hit a little unexpected rain on the ride home, but nothing was damaged. It was a good time, but a long day in retrospect. We shopped for about 8 hours!!! That is one big store. I enjoyed it, and we saved a ton, but if we don't go back for a while that would be ok with me. [Thanks to the grandparents for watching the boys. I know they would have been miserable on this trip.]

What does IKEA stand for?

I didn't know, but I checked online and found this at Wikipedia:
"IKEA was founded in Sweden by Ingvar Kamprad and it is owned by a Dutch-registered foundation controlled by the Kamprad family. IKEA is an acronym comprising the initials of the founder's name, Ingvar Kamprad, and home village, Elmtaryd, Agunnaryd."
