So the Grand Opening of the DC American Girls store was Father's Day so we left our Fathers at home and had some girl time to check it out.

Peter was the only boy allowed. He loved it.
The store really is a fun destination for girls. Many of the girls were dressed like their dolls, and if you ate there and didn't have a doll you could borrow one to sit at your table. They even have hooks in the bathroom where you can stick your doll while you do your bidness. I must say, though, I was sort of shocked by the crass commercialism of it all. I have never seen so many parents just buying up these expensive dolls and accessories. I met several girls who have all the dolls, or close to it, and they go to all the stores and are totally wrapped up in it. I know this is a wealthy area, but gee whiz. Ok, there's my caveat, my rant, or what-have-you. Don't get me started. All in all it was a fun outing, and the store is really beautifully done. But I hear the NYC store is fabuloso...

awww...such fun! let's take our girls to the NYC store one day! :)
How fun!!! I'm planning on taking Myrick to the one in Atlanta for her bday in October. She doesn't know it but we are buying her a doll- her very first AG doll! She even said to me today that it's weird how she knows all these girls who have 6 and 7 of them!! That's just ridiculous....period. So I agree with you:) Looks like they had a great time! Love Ruthie giving her doll tea :)
that is wonderful, Mirinda! It really is special and fun.
This is my 6-year-old self's dream come true!
