American Doll Store - Road Trip

This trip has been planned for a long time.  We didn't tell Ella until Oct. 1st.  16 Days was long enough to wait for this road trip.


It was Mallory, Ella's Cousin, birthday.  She loves American Girl Dolls.  Noni gave her the trip
for her birthday.  


 Arriving at the hotel.  Noni had pre-order tshirt for the girls and their dolls.

Checking in at the hotel
The girl received the pink carpet treatment.

 Noni, Jill, Mallory, Ella and Amy

 Our special rooms were crazy pink.  Our bed and a bed for the dolls.
 The bath towels were even pink.
 Surprises were waiting everywhere for the girls at the hotel. 

Very special.

The American Girl doll store was in the same parking lot as the hotel.

 Noni with the granddaughters
 On thing Ella had been wanting to do was the ear piercing.  Her doll did very well.  No Tears.

 Craft time and a scavenger hunt in the store. 
We headed back to the hotel to change for dinner at the store.  
Ella is standing beside the new doll that was just released this year.

 Allison, Ella's doll, was able to sit in a high chair with us at the table.  Ella had a little menu to order her dolls food and drink.
  

 
Her doll with the hot chocolate Ella ordered her and a birthday hat for the party celebration.

 Jill dumped Ella's doll on the floor.  The chair slipped off the table.  We couldn't stop laughing.  Ella was heart broken.  Her sweet doll was on the floor.



By the way, if you have to go to the restroom, the store has thought of everything.  
A doll hook for your doll to be with you in the stall. 


Such fun to have a little girl. 

 
 The store was amazing.  So much to look at.  The blue car in the middle of the picture below was $300.  Ella thought that would be a good thing to ask for from Santa since her parents do not have to pay for Christmas.  
Got to do alot of work in the next few months to convince her of others things to put on her Christmas list.
 So arrived at the store at 2:00
Shopped, Crafted and Scavenger Hunted until 4:30
Hotel to change until 5:15
Supper from 5:30 - 7:00
Shopped again until 8:30
Then the hotel had an American Girl Doll movie with 
pink beanbags, popcorn, PJ's and pink Lemonade
Movie from 9 - 10:45
This was a jammed packed day of girl, pink and shopping.
So glad to tag a long on this trip.
FUN and GIRL
