This weekend Espen and I had a little adventure to find some furniture and stuff for her new apartment. There was an “estate sale” in town, which sounds much fancier than it really was. We knew the realtor running it though, and got a good deal on some furniture. We then went to check out a new thrift store in town, and then a consignment shop across the river. So much shopping for us! LOL. We had to go back to the estate sale after Alan got here so we could pick up the furniture in his bigger vehicle. Between the two Teslas we got the job done! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s one thing we found at the estate sale that we did NOT buy!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In the afternoon we went to have some fun at the science museum. Lex is working at the Montshire again this summer and he gets a free family membership as a benefit. We haven’t been there in many years, but it used to be a standard in our life. It was fun to revisit the museum, see the new exhibits, and meet Lex’s coworkers. :) We probably embarassed him a bit, but that’s what family is for!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I made them pose for the standard “all done” scene. I have fond memories of finding them sitting on the bench, leaning against each other and watching the perpetual ball machine. That was always the sign that they are done. They were done this time too, but unfortunately Lex had to work for another hour. Fortunately, he really likes the job. :)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
