My North Carolina granddaughter celebrated her seventh birthday with an adventure surrounding the new American Girl Doll Store in Charlotte, NC. For those of you who do not live in the American Girl world, this is probably the most popular doll phenomenon for young girls since Barbie. And much more expensive.
The birthday weekend was a family event starting with an American Girl package at the Renaissance South Park Hotel. Both granddaughters and their dolls checked in at a special pink table and were given keys to their room as well as crowns and wands. Pink milk and cookies arrived later.
The hotel rooms had pink sheets and towels, take home beds for the dolls, pink robes for the girls and dolls and a pink bean bag chair. I am talking Pepto Bismol pink!
The next morning we were first in line for the store to open to get the coveted hair and spa appointments for their dolls.
Patiently waiting for the store to open.
The most coveted time in the store besides shopping is the hair and salon appointment for the doll. Gabby, the birthday girl’s doll, sat in the salon chair, was cleaned, had her ears pierced and then had her hair braided and adorned with ribbons.

Finally, there was shopping, shopping, and more shopping, another doll for one little girl and lots of clothes and accessories for the other. A favorite is the matching girl and doll outfits. Fathers and grandfathers just shake their heads and give in. This place is a grandmother’s paradise and mothers know it. This grandmother is now poor, exhausted, and happy with the expression on her granddaughters’ faces.
Smiles of satisfaction after contributing to the US economy.

What a fun weekend. I enjoyed reading all about it. Very familiar with these dolls. I find myself at the doll store looking as well.
Thanks, Susan.
Hahaha! My sister and I both had American Girl Dolls, I had Molly and my sister had Josefina! We would spend hours looking through the American Girl Doll Magazine! What a great birthday memory!
Thanks Danielle. This grandmother had a blast.
Dave’s granddaughter has one. I got her several outfits for her birthday and Christmas a year ago. No mention of wanting more outfits this year. She is not a girly, girl. Yes, I wish I had thought of it, too.
The American Girl Store is amazing!
