Hi guys....well, we were the only ones there (as we have been all the times we tried) but it was good to get out and walk around the mall. Rachel had a major seizure-type thing last night and ended up in the ER, and it was a harrowing night for her (and us), so it was good to have this little "mini-vacation". We did find one cute pin on the CM lanyard that was not there before, a Dumbo with a paintbrush. Everything else was pretty basic, DS stuff, and even one metal Mickey head. There was a Pinocchio on there too that was probably a WDW pin, but we decided to leave it for the next collector so they would have something a little different to trade for.
Actually, though, the highlight of our trip to the mall was going to the Sharper Image store...lol!! Rachel rode around the store on one of those Razor scooters, David played chess with this mini handheld computer thingie (he won) and all of took turns sitting in this very cool massaging chair that costs $1,500. (David actually said we should sell our pins and buy the chair!! But then he said "Just kidding mom!". I'm telling you, that store has every major thing you will never own because it's too damn expensive. We ate in the food court, walked around the mall, stopped to buy the Harry Potter movie on VHS, and stopped by the DS one last time on the way out to see if anyone had come in (but to no avail).
They don't have any really special pins there, but there were still some of the basic Lilo and Stitch pins on the rack, as well as some very discounted gallery Bambi pins that we bought for our trip down to Disney in November to trade with the CMs. They are very cute, actually! We managed to avoid making another major purchase (with those dolls at $9.99, it was hard!). Maybe we'll see one of you there sometime, but we're looking forward to our meet on Saturday!
