The Real Deal

Today was a very long day at the conference. Perhaps the longest yet. Today was day number 3 and I'm getting tired of workshops, not to mention ready to see my family. Tomorrow is the last day, and thankfully, we'll be headed home around noon.

We have been trying to have fun while down here. Ok, so it' hasn't really been that bad. For the most part, it's been quite refreshing. It's been beautiful weather (apart from the tornado warnings tonight). My co-worker, Della and I have been relaxing by the pool.
We've been on an Olive Garden craze as well, which has been a real treat!
To end a long day, we decided to go shopping at the mall that almost touches the conference center. This is one of the Pros of out-of-state trainings! It's a 3 story mall...much bigger than I'm used.
The Disney Store was have a "going out of business sale."
AND Gymboree was having a great 30% off anything in the store sale.
Serious shopping!
I just had to share these deals! Since I mainly shop the Clearance racks, these mark-downs were a great deal after another 30% off. A head start on school shopping!

Brooke, I love Oliver Garden, that's my favorite restaurant, to go out on a date or with special friends. So keep that in mind, we'll have to go out on a double date when we come...vera
