Day 6: Maceys Adventure

For the seventh day of our Spectacular Summer Finale, Aimee and I rode our bikes to Maceys. (Now before you start thinking that we are some amazingly strong, and totally fit athletes who ride their bikes all over town, let me explain that we took the river trail there the whole way, so it really wasn't very hard.)


Well, on the way there, I was having a really hard time keeping up with Aimee, because she is amazingly strong, and super fit, and I'm a lazy couch potato that doesn't ever do anything. So yea, it was pretty hard for me on the way there. (But that really doesn't have anything to do with anything, so I don't know why I told you it. Oh well.)

Anyway, we get there, and we chained our bikes up. And guess what!? There was actually a bike rack this time! Woohoo! So yup, here is a picture of our beautifully locked up bikes. Just in case you wanted to see what we ride!


The first thing that Aimee and I always do once we get somewhere - especially when we ride our bikes - is go get a drink, and go to the bathroom. But we don't actually use the bathroom, mostly I just check out my face, to see how tomatoish it is. Well, this bathroom was pretty spectacular. We have never seen anything like it before. It is just plain magical!! It is all AUTOMATIC!!!


Automatic toilet!


Automatic Sink!


Automatic Soap Dispenser!


Automatic Paper Towel Dispenser!


Even Automatic Hand Sanitizer Dispenser!!

After our trip to the amazingly magical bathroom, we went and bought ourselves some ice cream. And just a shout out for ya, Macey's has some of the best ice cream ever!! We both bought smalls, which were only 50 cents, (no tax!!) and they give you a lot of ice cream! So yea, if you are ever in the mood for inexpensive, good ice cream, and a lot of it, then definitely go to Macey's!


Our beautiful ice cream cones, and the cereal in the background. Aimee got twist, I got vanilla. 

So, we then walked around Macey's eating our ice cream and looking at random things, and random people. We finally finished our ice cream, so we set off to accomplish our next task. (Well, we didn't leave Macey's, but we did walk over to the freezer section.) 

We are huge Harry Potter geeks, so of course we had to make the famous Ron and Lavender heart that Lavender makes on the window of the train. And if you don't know what I am talking about, then drop what you are doing right now and go watch Harry Potter!! So, we tried making it on the normal frozen section doors, but it just wasn't working, because they had two panes of glass, so the camera couldn't see it from the other side. It just wasn't working. So we found another glass door, (the one on the soda compartment thing) and it finally worked! But there were too many things in the background, that you still couldn't see it very well through the camera. So we tried holding up things behind it, to make it more visible, but it just didn't work. I had Aimee holding up coke packages, and even a package of raw meat, which she described as smelling "SO BAD!". So we finally realized that we needed a white background. The ceiling. Yep, it finally worked. And this is the final product. (We got some weird comments from this old man passing us while we were trying to get a picture of our masterpiece, but I don't remember what he said, so yea. But it was weird.)


So we then went to get our blood pressure taken - just like we do every time we go to Macey's. Mine was actually pretty low this time, but Aimee's was quite the opposite. But the only reason was because she was nervous, and I wasn't. So yea. She was upset about that for the rest of the day.

We then found a little station towards the front of the store that had a bazillion Air Heads in it that were 7 for $1. We decided, what the heck, why not? So we bought them. And on the way home we would stop periodically and split one in half to eat. And they were good. Yep yep. So the sad thing is, that I was going to go home and take a picture of all the wrappers, but I apparently left them lying around, so my mom threw them away. Sad day, I know. So you are just going to have to picture the amazing seven Air Heads each of a different flavor. Because they were good.

We also saw a lot of people we know at Macey's. But I'd rather not talk about that. Because it just reminded us of how we have to go back to school in about a week. Very sad day!! Now excuse me while I go cry in the corner for a while. *Tear Tear*

So Anyway . . . trips to Macey's always turn out to be amazing adventures, each a little different then the next, each just as amazing as the first!
