weekend date...part deux

Saturday morning after breakfast at the hotel we got up and went our separate ways for an hour or so. Jenny to Babies-R-Us and me to Sam's Club (I was looking for some trail mix...no luck...but most of all, I was determined NOT to spend an hour in Babies-R-Us thankyouverymuch).

Next was a stop at Penney's Outlet...always a must for Jenny if we're in the vicinity. And then finally to Easton for the remainder of our day.

Easton was a zoo. It was like Christmas time. It took us a good 15 minutes to find a place to park. Crazy. People everywhere. And this was just a typical February Saturday.

We visited more stores, including Nordstrom's. Hello. Jenny found a pair of jeans she liked. The price tag? $198. Which begs the question: WHO SPENDS $198 ON A PAIR OF JEANS!!! (by the way, she was able to find some much less expensive jeans...at Penney's Outlet...ThankyouJesus).

And guess where else we ended up shopping before we left Easton? The Container Store...again! Amazing. Simply amazing.

The good news: The Container Store is right next door to bd's mongolian barbeque which happens to be one of our favorite restaurants ever. If you've never been there, visit their website...it's a really interesting concept: Create your own stir-fry. You start at the raw meat bar (shrimp, lamb, tenderloin, pork, chicken, crayfish, scallops, you name it), followed by the veggie bar...and then last is the sauces and spices bar. I usually go Cajun. I like my food spicy. Then you take your creation to a giant grill and let the stir-fryers take it from there. Fun and filling! We try to hit bd's whenever we're in C-bus.

We headed home shortly after bd's...with one more stop in mind...DQ. Jenny got a Blizzard, I enjoyed a caramel Moo-Latte. Yeah...we ate good on our trip. Partly because we knew we were starting a 40-day Daniel fast on Tuesday. It's like we had a giant Fat Tuesday party all weekend long.

Thus endeth our trip to Easton.
