A New Costco... Oh Boy!

It has taken four years, but a few weeks ago a new Costco in Covington opened closer to our home. So today I schedule a "field trip" to check out the new building. There is a Costco in Federal Way and South Center. Both of those are at least 10-15 miles away and always packed with people. Dave goes there more than I do. I have only gone on the weekends. Now, this Costco can be on my way home. It is only about 3 miles from the college.


On the weekends we will stop there for a salad and a drink, then buy a few things. I was just getting to know the store today. And while we were there, Riley had a "melt down". He wanted me to buy him something and when I didn't do it he threw a tantrum. I had to leave the store with him repeating his words and crying. He then in the car got worse; telling me he didn't like me etc. I was one of those kids that would throw a tantrum too when I was his age. Dave, the boys, and I went for a soothing drive. He fell asleep and things were better after he got up. I don't think he got his sleep last night at his mom's. Anyway, I have to go back when he isn't with me to check out the new Costco. I only got to see about 1/2 of it today.

Steve and Ruth will be coming over tonight to watch a movie with us. Guess where they went today? They went to Covington to check out the new Costco. Yep, you guessed it.
