On Friday the hubby & I took a little roadtrip. He took the day off work and I skipped class and after taking the dogs to get their nails trimmed, we hit the road! We’d been talking about going to Ikea for months and we finally decided to make it happen! We didn’t have any huge plans to buy anything. In hindsight-this was a mistake. If you’ve never been, Ikea is HUGE and we basically wandered around like lost puppies but it was fun! We picked up a few things but for the most part just went for the experience.
After Ikea, we headed down the road to Jungle Jim’s. It’s pretty much a foodie paradise 🙂
There was mind-blowing amounts of some stuff, like beer & wine, honey, Bob’s Red Mill, and nuts!
Hubby really wanted a keg of draft beer! They’re also known for their restrooms. They’ve disguised the hallway to the restroom as the entrance to a port-a-potty!
We loaded up, mostly on beer and wine, plus a few foodie treats, and headed home.
It was a good day!
What was the last road trip you took?
A workout for you: Do 1, 2 or all 3 for a total body workout. Go hard! it’s only 10 min!

Aww, seems as though you had a great time! The last “road trip” for me was visiting my great grandmother for four or five days LAST summer! So its been a while since I last got out of the house…
haha sounds like it’s time to start planning another one!
how fun! i love roadtrips with my husband. we always have the best time together. we just drove down to AZ to visit family last weekend!
fun!!!! we had a blast!
What a fun day!! I have been to IKEA once and was overwhelmed…it’s just so BIG!!
I haven’t done a road trip in what seems like forever, but the hubby and I are going to do a LONG one this summer {if everything goes as planned}. I cannot wait!
yay!!!!! you’ll have so much fun
Oh my gosh! I’m from the Cincinnati area! I really miss Jungle Jim’s and the scary animotronic lions and other jungle animals. Oh, and the food too! 😉
haha some of them were quite scary!!!! it was such a fun store!
Aww! Looks like a fun day! I love when Lee takes days off of work and we get to spend it together! They turn out to be some of the most fun days!
Aww, looks like so much fun! I LOVE Ikea but yeah it’s definitely easy to get lost in there (I tend to get overwhelmed very quickly!). The last road trip I took was coming back home from NJ for the holidays! We’re taking one next week though and I can’t wait! 🙂
i was glad they had arrows on the floor telling me where to go 🙂
I love ikea!! I wish there was one by me but it really is an experience! The last road trip I took was probably back home? My parents live in MI so it was a 10 hour drive for me!
it was so fun to go there for the first time!
I think my last road trip was when I moved to Dallas from Alabama. Yeah, that was an experience!
Sounds like a lovely time!! That foodie place looks great too 🙂
it was quite an experience. i can’t wait to go back!
What a fun trip! 🙂 The pickle bar looks AWESOME! The last road trip I made was moving this weekend. I don’t see anymore road trips in my future for a while! lol.
Skipping work and classes? You rebels! 😉 It looks like it was so much fun though! That Jungle Jim’s place looks amazing!
we ARE rebels…love it 🙂 it was foodie paradise!
That Bob’s Red Mill display would have me filling up my cart!
haha i know! i had to restrain myself 🙂
Oh my God, that is foodie paradise!
Aww I went to Jungle Jim’s last weekend! I recapped it too, but my pictures are not as cute as yours are! I also have the broccoli and the carrot pillows…I got them from a friend for Christmas! Haha great minds think a like 🙂
By last weekend I mean the weekend of the 18th, not when you were down there!
Jungle Jim’s looks like HEAVEN!!!!! Wish I could do all my weekly grocery shopping there 🙂
A friend gave me the Broccoli stuffed animal from IKEA as a gift and I LOVE it. Too bad they don’t make a Green Bean!
