I heard about the Camarillo outlet mall here in LA from a friend and convinced dad and mom to come up and go with me. It's about 30 minutes beyond where we live. It was the coolest outlet mall and although I didn't get much (just because I didn't want to spend the money because believe me there was plenty to buy) it was worth it. It was unbelievable!! There were several strips of 40+ stores and we drove from strip to stripe to cover what we wanted to. They have stores like Banana Republic, Coach, Giorgio Armani, J.Crew, Kenneth Cole, Lucky Brand, Last Call by Neiman Marcus, Nike, Puma, Adias, Polo Ralph Lauren, Saks Fifth Avenue Off 5th, Tommy Hilfiger, Forever 21, Gap, Carters, Children's Place and so on. They have the higher end stores and then the more reasonable stores.
As mom and I shopped Dad, Ethan and Tanner enjoyed the samples and other treats along the way. Throughout the strip they had restaurants or fast food places that most often had samples. The boys were great but we had so much to do in such short time that Dad kept them busy from the get go with food and 25 cent horsey rides. They got an order of fries at Johnny Rockets so they could get the boys a balloon. That was a hit as Tanner loves balloons! It kept him content the rest of the day. On the way home it was the cutest thing as he fell asleep with his blanket in his mouth as always and had his little hand wrapped around the balloon so tightly. He was one happy boy.
At one point as we were walking along Ethan saw the mannequins in Giorgio Armani and ran in the store and held the hand of one of them. It was so funny and very cute as we saw him through the window striking a pose. I directed him out before the approaching store worker had something to say about it. I'm telling you, this will not be the last time those outlets see my face. I think it's a must do at least once a year. Thanks Dad and Mom for a fun day!
