Geocaching & Ikea: 2 firsts for me!!

[scaryshari]

Better late than never! ;D I went on a very fun "day trip" Thursday with beckerbuns and her beautiful 6-week-old baby, Misty. Because I'd never been to the amazing Swedish furniture-and-everthing-else store Ikea before (shameful, eh?), and had never gone geocaching before, Becky rolled BOTH cool activities into ONE day

That was such a fun post! And with 3 of my favourite things! Geocaching, IKEA and (for your next post) pot stickers!

Great finds on your geocaching! Yay for you!

Shari, great post! I'm sorry it took me so long to read it. Things have been more than hectic as I know you've already read in my journal. :)

Could I get the full-sized versions of the pics that have me and/or Misty in them?

Thank you! And I had so much fun, by the way. :)

LOL about the ekorre wagon :-D and how nice to see Becky and Misty. As you know Becky is my LJ friends too.

We have a lot of lingon juice here but I like cranberry juice more. The potatoes with the Swedish meatballs you had were boiled potatoes in the peal. Many Swedish people boil the potatoes and have them in the peal on the plate and then they peal them while they sit and eat.

The dessert was a cake (pastry?) It's called "lingonbakelse" in Swedish.

The word Blimp is not a Swedish word / name at all it's only a kind of name but there is nothing named blimp in Sweden.

I think the salmon was baked in the oven. I use to bake our salmon in the oven too.

I never have seen (did not know about) the game to find things outdoors like a treasure hunt. You call it cache and I went confused because cache is for my computer talk, cache memory. :-)

Thank you for sharing this I was so happy to look at the pictures. Our nearest Ikea is 5 hours by bus in another town so I have no time to go there.
