Then on Saturday we started out the day with a relaxing morning (and watched President Hinckley's funeral), and after that became busy little beavers. We went all over St George in search of two things: a rocking chair and a stroller/car seat. We've been looking for a travel system online for quite a while now, but we just haven't found anything we particularly like. We've decided that we like Graco as a brand, and we even decided on the Passage model, but I hated all of the patterns they come in. Very frustrating. So you might say that we were casually looking for a travel system while out on our rocking chair trip. Now, when I say rocking chair, I really mean glider. We don't exactly have a lot of space in our little apartment, so while a big, comfy La-Z-Boy would be nice, we just don't have room for it. Not to mention that I have no idea how we'd get it up into Wombsly's room. Or how we'd get it out of her room, since we aren't going to live here forever. So we're looking for something a little smaller. In fact, we're looking for a glider. Yes, I just said that. Anyway, we went to all the big furniture stores around town, but none of them seemed to have what we wanted. And then we went to Wal-mart and found one. Of course, you can't sit in it at Wal-mart because they are tied down to the shelf. So who knows how comfortable it is. But it is cheap. Target sells a similar model. So at least we know we can go get one at either of those 2 stores. We'll have to see if we can get permission to sit in the one at Wal-mart, because I'm not buying a chair that I haven't sat in first. And if it's not comfy, then maybe we'll have to head out to Vegas and see what they have to offer. But at least we started the search, and made some progress.
As for the travel system, we looked at Wal-mart and didn't like them (surprise). Then we went to Kohl's, because I'd heard that they have strollers and car seats there, but they don't seem to have any in the store. I'd look and see if they sell them online, but their website doesn't seem to be working right now. So on the way home from this very long adventure, we decided to stop by Target and at least look at the strollers in person, just to see if they looked different from the pictures online. Let's just say I'm very glad we did. We found one that we both had rejected based on the online photo, but when we saw it in person, it was much better, very cute. You can see the online photo here. And here is a picture we took of it (in the box still). Don't you think they look different? As a side note, my parents are taking care of the cost of the travel system for us, isn't that kind? Thanks G&G Anderson!

Shannon, I just have to say...you are one cute pregnant lady!
I'm glad you guys found a travel system you like! I agree that the online picture looks tons different than the actual product.
Good luck in your search for the perfect chair!
Fun stuff! It sounds like you are just about set. The stroller does look quite different in person. It's very cute. Wombsly will be a stylin' girl.
i just thought i would let you know that we found our glider and ottoman at k mart. surprised? i was too. actually...all of our nursery furniture came from there and it was really inexpensive and real wood. that was also a surprise. anyways, it's really comfy and still glides perfectly and we've used to often for almost 2 yars now. i haven't looked lately since we already have all the furniture, but you ought to check it out. i think we only paid around $100 for the chair and ottoman. i thought that was a good deal though. good luck. and cute stroller. that is actually something we have to get this time around because our last one got recalled.
Kmart, eh? It's good to know that it's still comfy after 2 years. Thanks for the tip, we'll check it out.
