The American Girl Place at Tysons Corner! Part One!

My mom and I got back from the American Girl Place at Tysons Corner today!! This is their Grand Opening Weekend! We woke up very early today at 6:00. We arrived at around 7:30, so we had to wait about an hour and a half to get in. We had to get tickets and we got into group two. It was pretty crowded when we got there, but not nearly as crowded as I expected. Later, a HUGE crowd was waiting outside when my mom and I left, so I am so glad we got there early. LOL I took many pictures... and I mean... MANY :) Therefore, there will be three separate posts about this trip.

The front of the BEAUTIFUL store!


American Girl!!!

This is the display at the front of the store inside the mall.


While I was waiting in line, I saw two cute little displays. :)

Julie and Ivy

Kit and Ruthie

Then at last 9:00 came, which meant the doors were opening!!! :D YAY!! I saw Ellen Brothers, the American Girl president!! It was really cool to see her!

Then we got into the store on the second floor!! I was so excited!! :D The Historical dolls, mini dolls, movies, Bistro, Sweet Shop, some souvenirs, the craft event, bookstore, and some Kanani items were on the first floor. There was a craft event where you colored in these little friendship books. I did not get a good picture of the Bistro and I was not able to get a picture of the Sweet Shop because it was so crowded. I will be sure to take photos of those places when I go again later this summer though. I, however, still took many other pictures! :)




Kanani

Everyone seemed to be especially crowded around Kanani. ;) After all, she is a very gorgeous doll!

New AG Characters!

Hi everyone!

I have recently heard about TWO NEW AG Historical Characters. Their names are Cecile and Marie Grace! There are going to be two NEW books called Meet Cecile and Meet Marie Grace. The setting of the books are in New Orleans in 1853. The author of Meet Cecile is Denise Lewis Patrick and the author of Meet Marie Grace is Sarah Masters Buckley.

WOW! This is very exciting! I guess these are the next Historical dolls, which everyone has has been wondering about. I love both of their names too! What do you think? Are you excited?

You can read more and see pictures at Doll Diaries! :)

Thanks for reading!
