Second day of the new year

Yesterday we actually stayed home and rested! Ha! PLUS, one of the local channels was running an all day marathon of the first season of HOUSE. There were a few commercials but they were short so we got a full dose of HOUSE and are ready for season 2!

Today we went to Chinatown. The Christmas decorations were already down and Chinese New Year Decorations were up. It is the "year of the ox" so there were plenty of oxen around! But the Chinese market was a favorite. I think Ross and Chelsea really enjoyed it. It reminded them a little of the African markets they are used to. They even did some bargaining. We came home with lots of goodies from there and will definitely go back before Ross leaves at the end of January.

Ross had a Megaburger (4 pieces of meat on three buns!) from McDonald's. Yum, yum.

We also took them to where we first lived in Singapore and to have coffee at the little coffee shop near there where we used to get on the internet! The lady there remembered us and wondered where we had been all this time.

We also took them to IKEA - which is a home furnishings/decor place. I think there is one in Atlanta. It is a neat store with rooms decorated to show you how you can set their furniture up in even small spaces.

Made it home about 6pm and I think everyone is pooped!

Tomorrow is Saturday. I'm not sure of the plans but will certainly let you in on the adventure!
