We slept in until around 8:00ish this morning and took our time getting up and awake. We wandered out in search of our continental breakfast around 9:00 and were met with a room bursting with people. There is a cheerleading competition nearby this weekend and it seems we have EVERYONE involved in it staying at the same hotel, haha! So it’s FULL and BUSY. We opted to get our food and drinks, and go have breakfast back in our room. Everything worked out pretty well, except I have to say that the coffee was peculiar. It was super weak, but like, weak like I have never experienced. I’m not one who requires my coffee to taste light jet fuel or anything crazy like that, but it tasted like milk and water with a teeny bit of dirt mixed in. Like it taked like nothing. It wasn’t even especially bad or offensive, but it definitely wasn’t good. It was just odd…
Our first shop stop was Indigo, though, so we grabbed some Starbucks there. A HUGE loving shoutout goes to my husband who has diligently kept my Starbucks app filled to the brim so Jerilee and I can drink all the coffee we desire. ❤️ Much appreciated. We did a bit of wandering there, but soon ventured into the belly of south common.
I won’t bore you with a specific play by play, but it was a successful shop!! My BEST win was at Spring, so if you need Spring, do it NOW!! We wandered in and out of a handful of places, but as we went from store to store, it got colder and wetter and finally it got quite snowy. It is so strange to be out in snow at this point in the season, though I’m really not surprised. I decided to be thankful rather that it wasn’t blowing and awful and cold. It felt to me like, once the snow started, the cold and wind kind of gave up, and we just walked in the big slow-falling flakes. I don’t care for winter in April (or ever) but it wasn’t altogether miserable. Perhaps even minimally enjoyable. Like I didn’t hate it, ok? Ok, moving on.
We ate lunch a little late, shopping a bit more, and headed back to the hotel early. With the cheer competition going on, the whole pool and hot tub area was SLAMMED full all evening yesterday, and we didn’t get to soak our sore shopping feet like we had hoped to. But in the late afternoon, early evening, we could! We figured the competition would potentially still be ongoing, or that maybe normal people (unlike ourselves) would be eating supper. We were right!! It did fill up after a while, but we had a good solid hour of being fairly antisocial and splash-free. Can’t complain about that!
Now, we rest. Because we’re old. We’ll venture out for a supper of appies soon!! But it might be a while. We’ve got time. No agenda when its just a girls weekend!
