Shopping Adventures

Today we went on a Shopping Adventure.

Part 1 of today's adventure involved filling two super-sized shopping carts at our favorite wholesale warehouse. This trip was not only to restock our pantry with necessities and groceries, but also to have a fun family excursion. Although it wasn't cheap, it was productive! Now, we are stocked-up on many things including toilet paper, cereals, carrots and shampoo! The nice thing about heavy-duty shopping is that it should keep items off of the shopping list for weeks to come!

Part 2 of today's adventure involved returning Christmas-gift clothing to a nearby department store, and getting exercise by walking the mall 'loop'. I must say, we were quite appreciative of gift receipts: 5 out of the 6 items we attempted to return had them. The sixth item, lacked a gift receipt, and, the clerk said he could only give us one cent for the item. (I want to know where the rack in the store was which had 1 cent merchandise???) Needless to say, we didn't exchange that last item.

Part 2 wouldn't have been possible without the double-umbrella stroller: Our toddler took a nice after-lunch nap, and our infant joined her after a good snack.

I thoroughly enjoyed the outing. It was productive, and enjoyable. It's been quite some time since we've done it. It was nice to get exercise in the warm indoors. I look forward to doing it again sometime. (Although I won't be surprised if it isn't summer when we're all able to do it together again....)
