Saturday morning we unpacked a little more and then headed to Home Depot to get a few more household items. It seems like we are starting all over from scratch with this house. We still needed a broom, mop, bucket. Things that I already have at home, but now have to repurchase here because they would've weighed too much to bring. (I found out that Susan and her family got to pack up a large moving truck with all their house belongings, including their grill, outdoor furniture and everything! There house also was not furnished, but it sure would've been nice to not have to worry how much "weight" we got to bring.)
After Home Depot, I took Dave to the mall that Susan and I went to the day before. We walked around a bit more, checked out the view, and grabbed a Starbucks. This is also when we walked all through 'Idea', the IKEA ripoff, and got a few more organizational items. It's nice to know that we have a store like that around! It was getting past naptime so we headed home. On our way home, we saw a market right below the mall. It was super crowded, but good to know that it is there every Saturday and if we get there early enough, it shouldn't be too crowded.
After nap, Dave and Claire finally went to El Globo and then to the park in the neighborhood. While they were gone, I quickly unpacked some more, baked a chocolate cake, and hung up decorations to celebrate Dave's birthday. He was surprised (and so was Claire) when they returned. We had leftover sushi and desserts. Claire got a cupcake (she only ate the frosting off the top), and Dave and I shared tiramisu and a chocolate dessert with raspberries on top. Delicious!
The rest of the weekend, we spent unpacking and doing a little more grocery shopping. We got it all put away though by the end of Sunday and it feels so nice to have most of our belongings from home!
