Shopping shopping shopping!!!!

Today, Saturday Oct 1st is our last day in Orlando, we have exhausted the parks, passes and ourselves, so we thought we may as well exhaust the credit card too! The new strip we are living on has more outlets, fancy that!, so we figured it's our duty as Australian citizens to check out the competition, or more like spew at the prices!!!! The Nike clearance store, better prices than the outlet store, was our first stop. Glenn got some more clothes, kai too and a gridion ball, charli 2 pairs of jobbers, a pair for now and a pair a size bigger. Then we stopped at super target, oh yes folks it was SUPER!!!! Not only is it a target but it's a grocery store too! Nothing like grabbing a pair of shoes and a your meat all in the one store!!! (not that we did that, we did however grab a few items including a monster linnet of strawberries for $1.70 and a bag of grapes for $1.32, did I mention bananas are 52c a pound???? The kids have been loving their bananas, hope they dont expect that to last????? We drive a little bit up the road and ooh look, another Nike outlet and rack room! The rack room has become our most favorite shoe store, everythingbfrom nike, addidas and saucony to sandals heels and boots! Not only that it's buy one get 50% of your second!!! Ooh yeh, my new best friend! We bought 4 pairs this visit, 2 saucony's for me and a new balance and ASIC for lexi, u would be peeved if I told you how much I paid! The outlets we visited last week were next on the agenda, this time we parked near a security tower, don't want our purchases to wandering now do we??? So a few more shoes were based here plus a few other bits and pieces, and then it happened!!!! Omg, we were in guess, a new handbag and a pair of heels for mwah, when the sales girl says to me "I'm sorry but your credit card was declined" WHAT!!!!! Oh dear we have spent some money, not to worry we'll just transfer some more money over! Ahhhh that's better ;)crisis over people! That little incident kinda blew the wind outta my sail, so we headed back to the hotel so the kids could have a bit of a swim. We headed to dinner at 7, across the road to Denny's. Wow what a cheap meal, not exactly wholesome food, but tasty and cheap, we even squeezed in dessert and still got away with $10 a head! Back to the room we go, kids onto bed so we can pack! We now have 4 bags, which after a final count, will help transport our 37 pairs of shoes home!!!!! That doesn't include all the clothes and stuffed toys we have accumulated! Lol. The good nes is we are packed and there is a teensy little bit more room for emergency purchases ;)
I am so very excited for the cruise tomorrow, we have to have the car in cape canaveral by 10am so an early start tomorrow for us!
Till next time
Cheers
