IKEA Trip

The IKEA trip was a good time. I started out by getting a dollar ice cream cone and then had the 15 meatball meal with a lingenberry mouse dessert. It was delicious. Then it was time to analyze the store. My experience was overwhelming, but also interesting. Although there were arrows to show where to go, I still felt like I was in a maze, and like most other people's reactions, it was frustrating that it seemed you had to go through the entire store to leave the place. I did like the interactivity of the place. I was free to roam, touch, sit, feel, and smell all of the items. The "look inside" tags made me want to look inside and see the surprise. I did find it very user friendly to have so much food outlets scattered about the store (ice cream kiosk, restaurant/cafeteria, and Swedish grocery store)...and there was good music.
