So today we drove around the neighborhood to see how far the church and schools are. The elementary school and middle school are next to each other which is nice. Then we took a deep breath and left the small borough area that we have been in the whole time. It was a little scary, but I was determined to go shopping.
We used to love to shop at Lord & Taylor in Colorado, but then they closed all their Colorado stores, and there were none in Florida, but there is a Lord and Taylor about 20 minutes away from here and an outlet about an hour away. I saw that there was a sale this week at the outlet so we ventured down there to try and find it. The mall that it was in was packed! Not only did we have to follow someone out of the store to find a parking space, but someone did the same to us.
Was it worth it?
Well, we bought 2 boys' shirts, 2 linen skirts, 2 blouses, 1 silk skirt, 2 scarves, 2 men's polo style shirts and a pair of slacks for $108. My favorite was the Anne Klein silk skirt for me that was originally $250 that ended up being $12! I just wish I had bought the $30 suede pumps I had been looking at.
Then as we were driving home we hit what looked like a big black grocery bag that we can now hear flapping whenever we drive, but we can't see it anywhere under the car, it makes quite the noise on the highway. I guess we will just let the car rental company figure out where it is.
Then we stopped for my birthday dinner and ice cream afterward.
We will be going to check out the local ward tomorrow.
Did you find the right house then?
