Friday night after the garage sale, Wesley and I were exhausted! The boys, on the other hand, weren’t. We knew we needed to get out of the house and do something to keep them entertained and us awake!
Jackson had talked about going to see the doughnuts. Susan had just sent me 4 coupons for Krispy Kreme so we decided to head to Buford for the evening. The 15-mile journey took us over an hour – crazy Atlanta traffic!!
Side note: I always thought it was a joke that kids would repeatedly ask from the backseat “Are we there yet?” but turns out that does happen. Jackson perfected the question in the 60 minutes we were in the car!!
Anyways, once we arrived, we went in to find the restaurant under construction. We asked if the doughnut maker was still working and it was. Jackson and Wesley went to go watch.
There were two construction workers there and we believed – since it was 7:00 on a Friday night –they were cleaning up for the day. Wrong! They were just beginning…to remove the tile from the floor!
Not 3 minutes after we arrived, the jigsaw came out and the whole place was filled with the loud noise of the saw and dust. We looked around and thought – are you serious? Is this really going on with customers around? We weren’t the only ones with puzzled looks.
Jackson was as happy as he could be watching the doughnuts come down the belt…while covering his ears. Philip was not so happy. He was screaming. Though no one could hear his screams over the noise, I decided to take him out to the car.
After a few minutes, Wesley and Jackson made it to the checkout and joined us in the car. Jackson was upset because he didn’t want to leave, but it just got too loud.
So…we spent our Friday night, in the car eating Krispy Kreme (the plus side was the doughnuts were free thanks to those coupons!!).
It ended up being a fun adventure, but Wesley and I did say we should probably call first before heading out to Buford just to make sure Krispy Kreme is in working order before we make the trek!
