the Galleria

Oh.My.Gosh...have you been to the Galleria? THE Galleria? Of course you have, EVERYONE has. Until yesterday, I think I was the ONLY person on the face of planet Earth that had not been. My sister-in-law Alicia was in town for the weekend with her hubby, and girl, let me tell you - she is a shopper. She LOVES it. So, she invited the girls and I to meet her at the Galleria yesterday so we could visit. My girls, unlike me, are always down for some retail time. (there is obviously something wrong with me - I'm not a good shopper - I don't enjoy it) I do, however, enjoy spending time with my family, so off we go, directions printed so I don't get lost, down south....OUTSIDE THE BUBBLE. Could you feel it when I left? Was there a popping noise when the Yukon left the perimeter? I made it there no problem, parked underground, and there we were...shopping paradise. After trying to figure out the mall directory, I gave up, and told Alicia to come find us! She did and off we went. Justice was the first stop, of course. Then we ate at the Rainforest Cafe - the girls' choice. Right by the ice skating rink. Cassidy decided right off she really didn't want to skate. But they had this cool trampoline bungy jumpy thing, so that's what the girls decided to do. We waited awhile for that. Cassidy said she got over her fear of heights doing that. Okay, one down. Anything around there to help with fear of bumble bees? They have every store imaginable at that mall - it was crazy. Stores I've only heard about. I can tell Megan's going to be the little Designer Label hound...she was dying to go into the Juicy store - I said - you can just look thru the window - you really don't need to go in there. Seriously, if you want any kind of high fashion item - it's there! But, of course - you already knew that! I love watching Alicia shop - she touches everything in the store...we were in one store, and the sales guy kept coming over asking if she needed help - nope, she's just checking it all out. It's awesome. So, when we were all done and it was time to go, Cassidy said "the next time we need to go to the mall, we so need to come to this one - it's SO much better than ours!". Oh my gosh, what have I done?!
