Looks like you did good on your retail therapy.

I'm with you.. retail therapy is always great.

It is always great. I love shopping alone too. It's so relaxing not having to worry about other people or taking too long in the stores.

Joining in to this TR (a bit late) as well!!! Good to see the Yeti getting to vogue on more than one report!

Glad you're here.

Yeah, the Yeti does like to strike a pose wherever he can go.

Sounds like a nice relaxing day! Love the shopping part! I was tempted to get DH to take me to the mall or the outlets during our trip in Dec but I figured that was pushing my luck!!

It was a great day. I never really get the relax for an entire day at WDW, so it was a nice change for me.

I love shopping in Florida. I normally go to the outlets, so this was actually a change for me.

Ratail therapy always gets in my book.

Sometimes you just need an "off" day on vacation, even if it's at Disney.

Excited to read about what shenanigans you and your brother will get into. You know how I enjoy visiting the boy wizard!

 

[PopArtGal]

Tell me about it. I do most of my shopping alone.

Haha, I hope I can fulfill your desire for shenanigans. My older bro is not really known for shenanigans.

Tell me about it. I do most of my shopping alone.

Best way to do it.

What a wonderfully relaxing day and nothing like having the whole pool (almost) to yourself, even if it was only 78 degrees.

Retail therapy and dinner at DTD sounds like a wonderful way to pass the time. That sundae looks so yummy!

A wizard? Does this involve a trip to the dark side?

Vote me in for shopping alone; I don't know a lot of people up here, and DBF is anti-shopping, so I spend a lot of quality time alone at Woodfield. I really enjoy it! Sometimes, I'd like to be with others, but most times I'm so accustomed to being alone that having someone with me can be annoying!

(unless I'm shopping with me Ma, who has the same shopping style as me - then, we can spend a whole day at the mall and never buy a thing because we're so caught up in gossip!)

 

[teekathepony]

Sounds like a nice relaxing day indeed. Gotta love solo retail therapy. No one to say "really... you're buying that?" hahaha.
Can't wait for the HP update!

 

[TanzUnited99]

Great PP pics! I love the extra shot that was included - it looks very magical!

Woohoo on sleeping in!! You know I love doing that!

That's cool that you had the pool pretty much to yourself and I hear you on the depths of pools - they need to return to how they used to be! Rant over!

Looking forward to the purchases from a successful shopping trip. Also you are KILLING me right now!!! EoS and Ghiradelli pics in the same update and I haven't eaten anything since lunch - BAD idea!!!

I was determined to get my pool time in, even if it wasn't that hot outside. Good thing I have cold midwestern blood.

Perhaps it does involve a trip to the dark side.

My mom and I shop the same too. My brother loves to shop, but he's so much more pokey and slow than I am, even I can't handle shopping with him.

I don't make it to Woodfield too often, because it's just a little far from me. I do like going there though, but oh man it's so crowded every time I make it out there.

Exactly! No one can question what you're buying and why.

I love to sleep in too, I just never do it in WDW.

I'm glad you know what I mean about the depth of pools! I mean, seriously, are we just not going to teach kids how to swim, or do people just not want to have to worry about it. I just don't understand.

Sorry, didn't mean to kill with the food pics. It's yummy yummy yummy.

I live almost within walking distance to Woodfield, so I'm lucky to be able to go after work - which means it isn't busy. And we have a Rainforest Cafe! But shopping with Mom, anywhere, is always fun.

Now DBF is a pain in the butt to go shopping with; he doesn't like crowds, kids, rude people, shopping, or high prices. So it's terribly hard to find anyplace to go with him.

 

[IheartDDuck]

I live closer to Gurnee Mills, so we have a Rainforest too. LOL. But Gurnee Mills is NOT Woodfield, for sure. I tend to shop more at Old Orchard and Northbrook Court.

The Crocs store is surprisingly fun to look around in. There's just so many bright colors! And they have the 'nice' shoe line (You by Crocs or something; the headquarters of Crocs is near where we live so there's lots of Crocs shopping opportunities!) and there's one pair of heels that are super cute!

But hotel and pool days are really fun; sometimes I feel guilty about having a day where I stay in the hotel and just relax.. and then I remember it's my vacation so who cares? Fancy hotels are fun! And I'm lazy.

Your towel animals were adorable!

 

[Oliquig]

I found your link from another TR and followed it over! Love the yeti, and your chapter titles.

I agree, I like looking at the store. I've been fascinated by their You line, but I haven't actually bought anything from it.

I know, I feel guilty about the relax days too, but you're right, I do the same thing and tell myself, well I'm on vacation, so there's nothing wrong with it.

Thanks! I'm glad that you are enjoying it.

Not quite sure how I missed your last update!

Nothing I love more than DTD, EOS, and Ghirardelli! Everything is always so yummy and when you throw in shopping.... Sounds like a great day!
