Giiiiirls trip!!!
Jerilee and I are officially safely tucked away in Edmonton for the weekend, ready to enjoy some much anticipated shopping, moseying, chatting, and sipping of Starbucks. The weather is beautiful and the drive was short. We were READY.
I kind of don’t want to tell you guys my haul just yet, but we did really good at West Ed! This is our fourth time coming here for a shopping weekend, and usually the mall is a bit of a bust. But this time, it was so great! We both have a bit of a listy-list of things to look for and we legitimately crossed off some of those things, which felt great 🙂 I finally picked up a few things I’ve been kind of pining for for quite some time, and a gift or two for other people. It felt great.
We had a brief stop for soft pretzels and lemonade in the mid-afternoon, but otherwise we saved our appetites for The Old Spaghetti Factory. It was SO delicious, as always!! We had the shift supervisor as our server, and she was just incredible at her job. Even with that place hopping with guests, she kept a cool head and never forgot anything. She was on top of it 🙂 Which was so so nice. Good service goes a long, long way.
We hit one more store on the way out, but our feet and bodies were just crying to stay sitting, so it didn’t last long. We limped our way out to the car and made our way to our hotel for the night. The moment we got to our room, into swim suits and to the hot tub we went! It was much needed. The hot tub was almost too hot, though, so Jerilee just sat on the side to soothe her feet, and I sat on the step to rest my feet as well as my pelvis. That sucker worked today! Wow! I’m surprised I’m not in more pain, honestly! But I did bring my handi-belt, just in case.
We are now back in our room, and will probably be old and go to bed early. Tomorrow will be a much slower moving day, but still more shopping with a few good sales and places to hit! First, though, SLEEP! My feet MUST be up for the next 10 hours at least!!
