I think someone may need a 12 step program...

...I'm just sayin' the boy has an obsession.

When we were in Orlando and Chris finished a little bit early on his last day of class I said that I wanted us to go out for dinner instead of eating at the hotel like we had been doing for breakfast, lunch, and dinner everyday. The prices were marked up three times what they normally are! He got online to look "some stuff" up real quick...but really he just wanted to see where the Orlando Mac Store was so he could say he bought something there.

Big Daddy entertaining us singing along with Prince.

And when we got there of course Apple was the first place we went.
Ah Yes, like an addict getting a fix.

Ivy was super excited when she found a Disney princess game.

Daddy quit paying attention while I was looking at something and Ivy started piling up everything she wanted to buy. She says "Dis Ivy's ok?"

It was a really cool mall but you've got to be packin' some serious cash to shop there! I think GAP was the only store that would have been affordable for us. We walked in the Louis Vuitton store just so I could say I've been in one...I picked up what is called a "monogram multicolor zippy wallet" and immediately decided that I don't like LV. $745.00 - FOR A WALLET! Who the hell pays that? I say hello Target!

We roamed around the mall for a while and found a really cool Sony store that had 3-D televisions set up and Ivy and Daddy sat down and watched some Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, which happens to be one of her favorite books right now so she was in heaven.

They even had an Ivy sized potty when she said she had to go and of course Daddy and I couldn't resist a picture of that.

We decided to eat at The Cheesecake Factory because Chris had never eaten there and the only time I ever ate there it was delicious! But I think we must have lost our minds when we decided that because Ivy thought singing and dancing in the booth was a good idea and it totally stressed us out. The dinner was still awesome but we probably should have stuck with an Ivy friendly place, not that anyone other than us seemed to mind.

We had quite a wait before we could get into The Cheesecake Factory but Ivy was good and had lots of fun entertaining herself by the water fountains. She even acted like she was directing some music at one point. And of course we had some tickle wars.

It must have been very shocking...ha ha!

TA-DA!

Across the street from the mall was an Aston Martin car dealership and Chris just about had a heart attack! And then when we were waiting for our table at the restaurant one pulled up right in front of us. We walked up to admire it and the valet parking kid said "Can I help you?" and Chris responded with "Yeah, actually. Do you have the keys for this car?" Of course we all got a chuckle out of it.

Of course after we left the restaurant we still had to go across the street and take a look though. I would have to say, I'm not much of a car person but they had some pretty sweet rides to sell. I wouldn't have minded taking this one for a spin myself.
