Yes We Did...

...stand in line at the Apple Store! This weekend is tax-free weekend here in Tennessee. I don't know if other states do it, but we definitely take advantage of it---especially when we are buying computers for our grandchildren. It just so happens, that Butch's computer crashed on Monday, so this year, we were in the market for two new computers.

Morgan came over here at 7:15 a..m. on Friday. We got to the store at 7:30 and were already about 9th in line. By the time the store opened at 8, the line was all the way down the mall.
The Apple Store is about the most organized place there is. By the time we walked through the doors, we were greeted and our transaction was completed within 10 minutes. It was the perfect time to buy. Not only did we save about $100 in tax, they gave us a $116 discount on the computer since Morgan was a student. Then they gave us a $100 gift card towards accessories. We put it towards Apple Care (their insurance program) and only paid $83 for that. They were definitely prepared for the crowds!
They had stacks and stacks of iPads, MacBooks and MacBook Airs all over the place. The Apple Store is always hoppin' and full of people. Today was no different. We then went to Computer Pro for Butch's new computer. They are downloading ALL of his stuff to his new computer. Perfect!

Everybody's happy. What a way to start the weekend!
