Commissary shopping - Fort Myer

to end our whirlwind day we decided to go check out Fort Myer. It is known to have a great PX an commissary. The PX was pretty great sell a lot of department store makeup, Coach bags (still too pricey for my blood) all Hallmark items, and lots of electronics.
The base is so beautiful. Old brick everywhere! It is on the edge of Arlington Cemetary.
We had two big carts full of food. I was excited to see the German chocolate advent calendars to get for our home/visiting teaching families. They are only $1.49 each. My friend Debi W. would bring those to my kids every year. They had all of their German Christmas items. So fun to see everything.
Sally Jane was so tired and such a mess. We were giving her anything to keep her happy, suckers, oreo's, chocolate mints. She was covered in sticky!
This was Caroline saying she was ready to go home. They were all so tired.

Annie Kate was laughing at how long the receipt was! I wish I would have taken a photo of the back of our van crammed with bags.


We were driving home around 6:30 on a Friday night and we were surprised the Traffic fairy was on our side. I thought this photo of Caroline was funny. Her watching the movie "Over the Hedge" (which I was happy to send back to Netflix, I was so disappointed in this movie, to many shut up's and stupids, adults screaming at each other for my taste)


We arrived safely home from out 9 hour Friday in the city, at 7:01 pm.
I still feel so lucky every time we get to spend the whole day as a family.
