We're Gonna Shop Around the Clock Tonight!

Ok, for starters, Cindy and I got to the outlet mall at Ellenton almost 3 hours after it opened. It was close to noon and it opened at 9. Holiday hours, I tell ya. Who knew? Needless to say, there was no parking to be found. But leave it to us - where there's a will, there's a way. Or as someone we know is fond of saying, where there's a will, I hope I'm in it! Anyway...it was no big deal. We simply uprooted the tree to make room for the vet. Do pictures lie?


















Heeeeeeerrrrrrreeee's Cindy getting into the spirit. Actually, I just bought new hats for us tonight - they're red with black fur trim and they are hawt! And this was taken right after we met the man from Turkey. We now now how to say Red Corvette and Burgandy Corvette in Turkish. And this was all before we met the guy from Germany...













We ended the day at a yacht basin of sorts in Palmetto. Mangrove Grill is nestled on the Manatee River at the gorgeous Riviera Dunes Marina Resort.
