Our quick vacation. Day 1. MOA.
Patie and Lily got Dora Passes so they could get unlimited shots at rides like this...
While Grace and I gave Forever 21 a thorough once-over and shopped around.
Then of course, the real reason we were here...
The girls dropped serious cash (their own cash), we looked at everything, and then it was time for afternoon tea.
Absolutely everything in the Bistro is pink. The floor, the walls, the seats, the tables, everything. Pink, pink, pink. Faces, clothing, everything reflects pink in photographs here. But, it's like a little girl's dream world. So it's OK.
When the sweet waitress sees your camera and enthusiastically offers to take a picture of all of you (that's all of us- see how Jim is missing? He ate...elsewhere...) And Hudson was with G & G all weekend).
So, when she offers, you just go with it. You throw the dial to Auto, you hand it over, she nearly drops it for the weight, she stands way too close, she gives you a weird look because she can't get us all in the frame, I explain it's a 50mm lens and she needs to back up, a lot, and she can't, because there's people everywhere, and you say, it's OK, that's fine, but she doesn't give up, and she moves around and gets herself further away, and then she asks you how to zoom and you explain it's a prime lens, it doesn't zoom, and then she asks if that means she should zoom out, while she's trying in vain to zoom a lens that won't move, and you explain it doesn't zoom, and she looks at it like it's the strangest camera in the world, like it's useless, because every other DSLR ("big camera") she may have ever picked up in that Bistro for families like us still has it's kit lens, and those zoom, but she doesn't know that, and you can tell she thinks your camera is a piece of junk when really, it's the opposite, and then that very, very sweet girl takes your picture, with the on-camera flash, and you thank her. Because for the bargain price of all the scuffle and trouble, you're in a shot for once.
That picture makes me giggle every time I see it.
Moving on.
You also each get a craft to take home.
And of course there's dessert.
This tea was absolutely worth every single penny. It was an incredible time. I love my girls, I love being a girl. Love it.

Cute!! A friend of mine posted pics from the Atlanta store- she took a bunch of people for her daughter's birthday party. Can't imagine what that cost, but it looked really fun!!

Looks like a fantastic outing! I think the waitress did a good job :) Wow, a craft...and food for the dolls? We missed out! Glad to finally see the girls with their "girls!"
Just plain awesome.
(To complete my mental picture, Jim is hard at work at the Lego store...)
I've heard people RAVE about this.
I am SO happy that you and your girls got to do this. It looks great...and that picture of the 4 of you...
FRAME IT.
Makes me want a girl oh so bad.
