On Labor Day weekend Erin & Evan (siblings) flew to Minnesota so we kept their spouses, Caden & Kelsey, entertained 🙂 Or you could say we just dragged them to all the things we were already planning on doing. Either way, it was a great weekend.
Friday we went to a root beer float party at a park on Lake Oswego + we got them to play Scrabble for the first time in their lives. Saturday we tasted and judged (what seemed like) a million grilled cheese sandwiches + went to Salt & Straw for ice cream. Sunday we ate pazookies (more dessert!) and played games. Monday we went to a church picnic (love free lunch!) + we shopped the Woodburn Outlet sales (I got a Fossil wallet for $20!) + Lucas and I bought a bed!
Monday morning before the picnic, Lucas and I went to 6 different stores looking for a new mattress. We figured Labor Day weekend was the best time to get a good deal but several of the stores didn’t seem to know or care that it was Labor Day. We didn’t find any amazing deals in the morning so we went on with our day and found one later. The store we found was going out of business and liquidating everything. There was a sign that said, “give us a reasonable offer and we’ll take it.” So we did and they did. Next thing you know we’re strapping a new mattress set to the top of our Mazda 3 hatchback. Classy. We know.
Real friends help you test out mattresses and then help you secure one to the top of your little car when you buy one. Thanks Caden and Kelsey!
We made it home safe thanks to back roads. I don’t even want to know what would have happened if we had to take this on the freeway!
