3 hours in a Costco

What do you get when two thirty-somethin's and two fourty-somthin's who have a total of 14 children, 4 husbands, 5 dogs and unlimited credit visit Costco together for the first time....???? Answer: Four extraordinarily full shopping carts, over 40lbs of meat, 12 perennials, a golf bag, a coffee pot, toaster, and lots and lots of chocolate. Ok, we're all on diets...there was no chocolate. The funniest part of the whole trip was watching my girlfriend load 2 Costco size TP packages, perennials, a medium size bush/tree, lots and lots of meat, clothes, and a golf bag into her two door Toyota Celica. It was a great sight only second to watching us try to load 6 suitcases into a PT Cruiser. She actually had a crowd of people gathering to watch the event. 3 hours in Costco can be a lot of fun!

You forgot to add that there was a 3 year old to be loaded in the car too! Where was Carol with the video camera phone today?!!! Oh, and I think that one of those 30 somethings is actually in her 40th year of life already! Nice try tho!

Costco and Sam's Club trips are always a good time. Jeff and I usually make a night of it and grab a hot dog for dinner. Oh yes, life in the suburbs is so exciting!! :o)

Watch it, E*T*M*! (I didn't know if I should actually type in your last name on the WWW!) I am not yet 40 and I will hold out in the 30 somethings for as long as I can get away with it! I am not even close to the big 4 - oh! yet.
We definitely need to go again! Had very much fun! I have to get my perrenials planted ... oh yeah, and a birch tree.

Was this really your first time in a Costco?? Did you just get one in your area? Costco is a weekly trip for us--the kids love going. I'm just surprised that us Alaskanites are Costco experts before the suburbanites. :) The food court is not too diet-friendly. Does yours have the chocolate and nut covered ice cream bar? Oh my. If not, you'll have to get one next time you're in the Anchorage store. A bit of heaven!
