Well this was a first for me, I have never cross border shopped. Yes I have been to Florida but that was a vacation not a shopping trip. So we got up on Saturday, got breakfast at Timmies and away we went to the Rainbow Bridge.
Our plan was the Walden Galleria, and that was our first stop thanks to the GPS, I would have gotten us completely lost. Darryl was so comfortable driving in New York State that I wasn't worried, we just had to keep an eye on what the speed was in each section we travelled.
Well we shopped till we dropped each of us picking up something new. I happened upon some Star Wars cookie cutters that I can't wait to try out. Mylee ended up with clothes, Kiya it was shoes and Darryl got....ummm...actually I don't think Darryl picked up anything for himself at the mall. Due to time constraints we couldn't stop at the Cheesecake Factory but drove by and got a good picture for the girls to say they came, they saw, they got the picture. It will have to be a next time adventure.
Our next stop was lunch, and well after getting us lost we ended up at The Anchor Bar, home of the Buffalo wing. This place is nice, the atmosphere is a family restaurant and the wings were amazing. There was flavour in the wing itself not just in the sauce. I recommend that if you go to Buffalo stop in here. We even picked up a bottle of their suicide sauce to dip some fries in, it wasn't as hot as some we have tried but it was so full of flavour. And then Darryl bought me a cannoli, yummy, it was a great lunch, the girls were stuffed, we were stuffed and yet fully satisfied.
Then it was off to the outlet stores. Where Darryl found his purchases, new clothes, new shoes for both of us, and some clothes for the girls. This is about when Mylee started getting extremely tired so we decided to head back. And well wasn't that interesting. A toll to get back into Canada and then duty at the border, but considering being witness to customs pulling apart people's belongings....I'm going to pay the duty.
So with that we took all the purchases upstairs, changed into bathing suits and went down to the pool for an hour, the girls had a blast in the swimming pool and Mylee is getting really brave at testing herself, as long as mommy is close. After our swim we decided to walk the hill, Daddy wanted to surprise the girls with a night at the midway and Mylee got so excited. This is her favourite place to go. So after winning 2 new webkinz, we decided to head back for pizza at the hotel, none of us were really in the mood to stop for dinner. But before we went back to the room we stopped at Sugar Mountain, can you say oh boy. A couple of bags of candy and some chupa chups for mommy and we were heading back.
And that is when it happened. Miss Mylee's feet had given out on her, she was exhausted and ready to crash. So she tripped and fell face first to the cement, giving herself a fat lip and a bloody nose. She was so good though, she got up and then started to cry. We headed back to the room and got all cleaned up and then she crashed, next thing I know it is morning and she is in bed with me. Overall it was a great Saturday.
