Bury St. Edmunds

Some of the shopping on the little street

 We headed to Bury on Thursday to get phones FINALLY! I knew we used our phones a lot, but we really know how much now that we experienced a few days without them. An example, we were headed to Bury with our friends the Ingersolls. We met in our TLF parking lot(we had to change rooms that morning, so did they) and decided to have them follow us to Bury. So we leave the base and turn and already don't see them coming. We followed the signs instead of what the SatNav(GPS) said to do. So we pull over at one of the rare pull offs and wait, and wait. Then we decide maybe they went a different way and followed the GPS. So we continue, hoping we end up at the same place, but not knowing because of no phones.

Part of the church

When we got to Bury we realized how big of a city it is. It is quite the touristy place with TONS of shopping. We asked where the cell phone store is, and head in that direction. We park the car in the "car park" and Blake goes to wait in the "Que" to pay for parking. Then he realizes you have to have coins to pay.

So I stand by the car while he goes to get some change to pay for parking. Then we walked to the cell phone store that is in the middle of a big shopping area. It was really nice. About 5 minutes after getting into the store the Ingersoll's walk in. YAY!!! We made it without phones. Lauren and I took the kids into a store while the Men figure out the phones. Then we explored the city and a church. It was a cute place and someplace I want to go back to without kids, so I can shop. I have a hard time shopping with kids. It isn't my favorite thing in the world to do, but with kids it really stresses me out. They had some really cute kids clothing stores though and a great antique furniture store.
