Yearly shopping adventure!

This weekend Tara and I decided to take our yearly shopping trip… last year we went the exact same weekend and we decided last minute on Friday to go down on Saturday morning. We didn’t even realize it was the same weekend, so now we are making it a tradition! Anyways, we started off by hitting up Tanger Mall in North Branch and dropped a few $$ there. Following that was the best Burger King we have both ever had, weird thing is, there was not a single male working that day! No wonder it was so good and fresh! Haha Next we drove to Albertville which was also fun but we both are undecided if we’d go back, but yet we still bought a few bags full of stuff which contained my sweet new hat and Tara bought about 20 pairs of socks! :) Next we went to our Hotel that was right across from the MOA So of course we then got all dolled up, threw on some new clothes and were out the door in about 10 mins! We shopped until we about dropped, literally because my knee hurt from all the walking. We also managed to get lost in the MOA… but with a good explanation! So here it goes… we got so caught up in shopping we lost track of time and forgot that the mall closes at 9:30.. at 9:15 we went into Macy’s and checked every exit and could not find my car… we checked the mens department exit, no car! We checked the Shoes exit, no car! So we thought for sure it would be at the Accessories exit, no Car! We actually walked around checking the exits numerous times before we finally thought “Did we really park in Macy’s or Bloomingdales?” So here we are practically running through the mall because it is now 9:32 and all of the shops were closing their gates and we did not want to get locked out of Bloomingdale’s… Whew… We made it though and sure enough we were parked in the Accessories department!!

At that point all that we had on our mind was booze so we went to the Hotel to ask the front desk where the nearest liquor store is and they said that it was a ways away and that the shuttle would give us a ride! So sure enough we jumped on the shuttle and Doc was their to greet us and drive us! Well not really but this guy sure did look like him, minus the mad lab coat! Haha We made it there and back safely and then went and grabbed a bite to eat at TGIF's which was pretty good; except for the old blue cheese we were provided!!! YUCK! I didn’t know blue cheese was supposed to tingle when you ate it??!! After that we went back to the hotel for some well needed drinks, we had a pretty low key night consisting of looking at all my pictures on my laptop and watching this on TBS and some other wacked out movie that we did not finish! We crashed at about 2am and woke up at 8 to get ready to head home. We stopped and had some breakfast and a blast at Target (see pictures that follow) and that pretty much sums up our last minute shopping trip that I cannot wait to go on next year! Thanks babe!! :)
