Scoping Out the Neighborhood...

We were in Royal Oak this weekend to check out an estate sale that we heard about, but unfortunately it was the 3rd day of the sale and all the furniture had been sold already. Of course, we stopped by our house just to check things out and it was so fun seeing the for sale sign with a big "SOLD" on it! We walked around the neighborhood and stopped by the local grocery store, Fresh Approach. We met one set of our next door neighbors, an older woman and her son. They were very friendly and had obviously been keeping an eye open for potential buyers for our house. They guessed that we were probably the buyers because they saw us around the house several times and they said they were hoping it would be us to buy it. I have been getting ridiculously excited to move in and start decorating. I've been getting a little lazy around the apartment with cleaning because we're moving anyways, right???? Probably not the best attitude to have. :) It will be fun getting to know the area and I know we'll have tons of things to do. We did some furniture browsing this weekend, which was fun. We didn't make any purchases yet, since we haven't been in the house very much. Once we remember how big the rooms are, it'll be easier to buy what we need!

Anyone who is familiar with the area, what are fun things to do (besides the zoo & farmers market). Also, where have you gotten great deals on furniture in the past??
