Blue Light Special!
Who doesn’t like the excitement of shopping with a shopping frenzy?
Who doesn’t like the hustle and bustle of busy shoppers carrying Macy and Neiman Marcus bags stuffed with purchases surrounded by tissue paper?
Who doesn’t like trying on clothes in store after store after store and then carrying all your treasures home, …only to try them on again and again?
This may surprise you, but not me!
Yep, that is correct…I would rather order on line than fight crowds at a department store.
I know you think I am weird…and I admit I am, especially when it comes to trying on clothes etc.
I would rather be doing anything else like pulling weeds or going to the Dentist for a root canal!
There is an exception!
And it happened last week-end.
The Captain wanted to look at Bose headphones. He uses Bose headphones when he is working and wanted to visit the Bose Store.
The Captain suggested we go to the Miromar Outlets Mall. We had not been there since moving to Florida, almost 4 years ago and everyone who is everyone, has raved about this beautiful outdoor Mall.
Of course I gave him “the look” which in spoken words says: “Seriously?”
But he was ready…he obviously had a strategic plan and he stated his case!
- We will go early, right after the stores open at 10 am, …so no crowds.
- It is an outdoor Mall, plenty of fresh air.
- There are wonderful restaurants with dining by the water where we can have an early, leisurely lunch, enjoying the sights and the 73 degree weather.
- AND, they have a kitchen store!
Well, he caught me at a weak moment.
Actually, I felt a twinge of guilt that I would veto one of his suggestions, especially since he wanted to visit the Bose store.
My first thought was…’you go ahead and go by yourself and I will stay home and read a book!’
But before I could utter those words, he looked at me with those big, blue, pleading eyes and I was a goner. (I do love that man and I could sacrifice ….this time) 🙂
We put the top down on the convertible, donned baseball caps to ward off the sun and we were off to the Miromar Outlets Mall.
So camera in hand, we parked the car and headed for the entrance.

There are many fountains at this Mall.
More fountains and shops…
And More water……
I love sun and water fountains….
I really enjoyed the turtles….all of them!
This turtle stretched it’s leg forever….
Aren’t the fish beautiful?
Turtles everywhere…..didn’t see any Hares! 🙂
Beautiful Begonias!
More Begonias!
Beautiful fountain!
Shoppers…not too many, not too few! 🙂
This Mall goes on forever….well, not forever, there was an end.
I love the Architecture….
A quiet leisurely lunch beside the water…… should have taken pics of the sail boats….:(
I didn’t go into any of the stores….just walking and enjoying the weather……
OK…I did go into two stores…..bet you can’t guess which ones? 😉
It turned out to be a beautiful, wonderful day sharing it with my Honey…..:)

I hate shopping with a passion. About the only time I get shopping done is when I am near my sister. I hate trying on clothes, too.
I will admit your mall is beautiful.
