Shopping isn’t a pastime, it’s a way of life. So it would seem in Southern California, where we’ve had a day of mall-to-mall paradise. Luckily I’d stored Hannah’s credit card in the freezer to keep it from overheating. Together with Gen they were girls with a mission and a list of local retail outlets.
James and I discussed the possibility of visiting “man shops” but were inevitably sucked into the consumer maelstrom. First up was T.J. Maxx. We walked away with a new suitcase and new shoes. Next was CompUSA where a blue iPod shuffle was added to Hannah’s accessories. Then, after a quick refuel at Nick’s Pizza, we were off to the Newport Beach Mall. An optician was hit for some new designer glasses before Macy’s was raided for a suit. A double-tall-toffee-nut-latte later we were on our way home.
That’s about it. Shopping in LA requires little stamina – you get out of the car, walk around the shop/mall, get back in the car and drive to the next shop. You can keep it up all day! Tomorrow there may be a couple more shops involved but a far more physically demanding stroll along the beach has also been mentioned. I’ll try to veto that.
Minnie, Jim and Gen's cat. She's really quite friendly.
Hannah models the new case...
...and then her new toy.
A close up. Yummy!
