A couple of weeks ago (I'm a little behind) a new mall opened downtown. I knew it was going to be CRAZY busy, so I wasn't really planning on going right away. But the more I heard about it and how amazing it is (!!) the more I HAD to go. I knew Mom would be up for it, and I happened to mention it to my friend, Robyn, and she sad she wanted to go too, so we made it a girl's day. It was so fun!
We got there early (about 9:45-it opens at 10), so we had a little time to look at the fountain, have some juice and a muffin, and grab a few pictures (like dorks!!). We had to get there early before the crowd was too crazy. We just wanted to see it really, we weren't planning on staying too long.

So we walked around a bit, shopped a bit, had lunch at Cheesecake (a new one at this mall!), and ended up leaving somewhere around 5. We didn't stay too long. It was so fun! The girls were so great! They shopped for somewhere around 8 hours! 8 year olds!! Awesome! They got a couple of things, which always makes it easier :] Plus they had each other, which is just plain fun. It's the nicest mall ever! There were live statues, live music everywhere, a creek running through the whole thing, some parts of it even had fish in it. Some of the mall was indoors, some was out, and you're right downtown, which was so neat. You could look out from the mall and see any major downtown landmark. I can't wait to go back! Would you believe I've had dreams about it? Yup.
