There was 1 item at Wal-Mart that I assumed would be gone but I thought I would give it a try - not that I was wanting to brave Wal-Mart on Black Friday. To our surprise there was NO ONE in Wal-Mart - I hadn't seen the store that empty in awhile AND they still had the item I was looking for. This was starting out to be a great day. Off we went to Kohl's and once again NO ONE in the store, NO long lines - it was great. I was kind of liking all the stores opening up so early because when we got there all the crowds were gone.
We continued on the mall for a few hours and it was finally off to eat lunch. I ran into a couple of friends buying LOTS of clothes for needy kids for Syds Kids (an organization they started a few years ago named after their dad who passed away - he loved kids and Christmas and what better way to help remember him but by doing something like this). This is the 2nd year I've run into them and it's such a hoot to see them in the back corner with clothes stacked about 4-5 feet tall. They really do enjoy doing this and it will put smiles on a lot of kids faces this Christmas.
Anyway, we ended up meeting them for lunch at Olive Garden. We sat around and talked for about 2 hours - it was a great way to get reenergized.
We continued shopping for quite some time and eventually made it home around 9:30PM. Here was our vehicle at the end of the night.
