School Shopping Weekend

Friday night Avery got her first dose of school clothes shopping. We made our way to Old Navy and took advantage of the 40% off kids sale and 20% off your entire bag coupon we had with us. Both dad and Avery made out like bandits but we were not done yet.



Saturday morning we were off to the Alderwood Mall to seek out more bargains. Avery got fitted for shoes at Nordstroms and then we went on the hunt for clothes. Avery and mom spent about an hour in the fitting room at Gap Kids. While dad shuttled new sizes and colors back and forth, Avery stockpiled a nice array of school outfits.




After all that, it was time for lunch. Nothing like a hard earned lunch at the mall food court. People watching, people watching, people watching. My only question is...Who tells these people that it is ok to go out in public wearing what they have on. (Must be getting old)


After lunch, Dad made a nice haul at Macy's and then it was time for shoes. Avery found shoes at Stride Rite while dad found shoes to his liking at Footlocker. Treat time! The allure of the Godiva Chocolate store could not be passed by. Each of us picked a chocolate delight and then we pressed on. One last pass through Nordstrom had mom picking up some make-up and a pair of boots.(Thank goodness she passed on the $495 pair)

After the day of school shopping Mom and Dad were able to drop Avery off for the night with Grandma, Gruncle and Uncle Nate. Two recommendations from our night out...

Dinner and a Movie--Don't miss out on the Carne Asada with shrimp, the best green beans ever, and mashed potatoes. Margaritas and Adam Corolla as The Hammer helped end an outstanding day.
