Cast: as before
Wednesday 26th September - Day 13
We had no plans for today, thinking we'd just revisit any parks we wanted to however DBF had another idea. Before we came on holiday I'd said lets not go shopping (I know shocking) as we really need to save some money. I calculated how much money I thought we'd spend each day to work out how many dollars to buy then Mike doubled that amount and bought them! So he is looking in the safe the night before and declares we have loads of dollars left to spend, in an attempt to be sensible I say we can just save them for our next holiday or change them back to pounds. Mikes says "no lets go shopping", I say "but we said we wouldn't", he says "but we are on holiday" so I say "ok", i'm a pushover!
We head off to the Premium Outlets and somehow get slightly lost, last year we found it no problem so we are slightly bemused, anyway we find it in the end and hit the shops. We buy loads of stuff in all the sports shops, Puma was the best vaule as it had 30% off as well as the good exchange rate. I also get some stuff in Bananna Republic and we buy 3 three Ralph Lauren Polo t-shirts, one for Mike and then my first 2 christmas presents (for my Dad and Step-Dad).
We have lunch in the food court and then make a run for the car as it is raining and head back to Pop to drop off our many bags. We realise we have now spent too much money and will have to put some meals on the credit card, oops.
The rain has stopped so we head over to Fantasia to tackle the harder fairways course which Mike was very keen to try.
We had a good game until it started to rain so we hid under a tree until it stopped then carried on our came but then right near the end it started to chuck it down again and even under a tree we were getting very wet so we played the last hole in the pouring rain which semed to make me play better and DBF worse!
We went back to Pop to dry off and then i'm not sure what, I can't for the life of me remember where we went to eat that night or what we did afterwards, we may have gone to the comedy club though as I love it there. I really must write better trip notes.
Tomorrow: Final full day, will I remember what we did?

I love how you had to be persuaded to go shopping then spent all your money 
We love the mini golf over there!
