Candace and I left the kiddos with her parents one Friday earlier this month. We drove up to Fishers, north of Indianapolis, where we visited the amazing IKEA furniture store. IKEA is a Swedish company that has huge furniture shops throughout many countries. Candace and I have visited IKEA in Tenerife, Spain, back in 2012 when we were serving with Mercy Ships. We have also visited the St Louis, Missouri, location and can now add the Fishers, Indiana, location to that list.
One follows a winding route through many different showrooms in the store, each focusing on one particular element of a house, such as bedrooms, dining rooms, kitchen, living rooms, etc. Everything that you see can be bought, including paintings and accessories, and much of the furniture on display can be picked up at the end, in the self-service furniture section, and bought in a DIY kit. Building bookcases or beds yourself certainly adds to the fun experience.
There is even an amazing restaurant with delicious food about halfway through the route. Naturally, being in a Swedish store I opted for Swedish meatballs (pictured here) while Candace chose to have a simpler wrap. It was a lovely, somewhat different date for the two of us. We came home with a couple of bookcases for our spare bedroom. :)
Candace's delicious wrap. :)
