Hello Everyone..,
I definitely enjoy going to Buffalo. I did go twice in the last year, so, I must LOVE the shopping over there. I know, I LOVE the Cheesecake factory and I definitely LOVE the food that is offered in the USA. They have the best selection of products!! Coconut M&M's and Raspberry M&M's. Canada, why don't we have these flavours???!! I never understood why the USA has more of a selection of food? Is it worth the trip to cross the boarder? UMMM... YES!!!!!!!!
My last visit to the good old US of A was last week. It took us 2 hours at the boarder. Yes, 2 hours. The line-up was insane and I had to go to the washroom, sorry in the USA they say RESTROOM. LOL. I have no problem with the customs officers being thorough but put a washroom near the line- up. My friend and I had to hold it all the way to the outlet mall.
I love the Niagara Falls USA outlet mall. Every time, we go there it's like a rat race. How fast can we get through this mall, so we can get to the Walden Galleria before traffic starts? LOL. Since, we got there at noon, we ate first. I know, we put the shopping on hold to eat, imagine that...but, that's how long it took to get over. The routine is to usually start at Burberry, I don't know why, we never get anything in there. We did great this time. There were 4 of us and we zoomed through that mall like it was on fire. Frank and Diana, I am still tired from seeing the back of your heads. These two do not walk, they sprint. I lost 5 lbs chasing you two around the mall. Frank, is like a drill sergeant when he shops, the boy can move. He can try on jeans, shoes, and eat in 5 mins. At one point, I was debating to get a wallet at Saks, but he scolded me like my Dad.. " Do you really need that? " Ummm,, no, but I really don't need anything. I left the wallet and the lady beside me left hers too. She even thanked him for making her save money.
We did separate at one point. My sister and I, went a different direction. Yes, Yes, we are sisters, and at times we think the same. Yes, we got the same purse in different colours. Who cares, right? LOL. Well, I got the black one and she got the red one. When Frank saw this, he thought I would be better with Red and her with Black, so, yes we switched them. I wanted the red the whole time. hahaha.
Off to Walden...So, the GPS took us on a tour across Buffalo. I got to see all the universities and of course again I had to go too the washroom, opps sorry, restroom. Once at Walden, all I heard was my sister saying she had to get the KK perfume and we had to go to sears to see the KK fashion line. Canada, thank you for not having the KK ( Kardashian Kollection ), I do not like it and she ended up buying nada. Frank, broke the change room door at Sears. Diana, tried on ripped shirts. My sister, was obsessed with KK fashion and yes, I still needed the restroom! We finally leave Sears, and we ended up in a sex store?! LOL. It had Sons of Anarchy memorabilia but it also was a sex store. NOOOOO, we did not buy any sex products. LOL. Who wants to explain that to customs? I must thank the lady at Lord and Taylor. She went above and beyond to find my sister a pair of UGGS. She said she was going to the docks to get her a size, the lady came back 40 mins later, sweating. I think she really went to the docks?! Outside somewhere!! We should have sent Frank, he would have been to the docks, restroom and would have tried on jeans in 10 mins.
Best part of the day... yup, CHEESECAKE FACTORY!!!!! We ate like champions. Well, Diana and I ordered from the menu, while my sister and Frank ordered from the "skinnylicious" menu. Imagine, a "skinnylicious" menu at the cheesecake factory?! The food was great! I took home 3 pieces of cheesecake. It was FANTASTIC! Yes, we do go food shopping when we go. WE love target and I stocked up on M&M's and candy. That is considered food. When we get asked, what are you bringing back? We all say FOOD!?! LOL.
I have to say, crossing back is always the best part. I do not know why we do this, but, we always go nuts. My sister drills us all before we even leave the store. My favorite line of the day, hands down is.." I'm not worried about us, it's Frankie, I'm worried about. " LOL. One time, poor guy forgot tags on his shirt and now, he never stops hearing it! hahahaa. Diana, thanks for driving in the rain. Frank "ie" thanks for making me leave that wallet and making me laugh, and my sister, thank you for being my sister. We think the same at times, and when Diana said, "wow, you two are more a like than I thought...it made me laugh." One last thing, has nothing to do with the trip... GO LEAFS GO!!! They play tonight...LOL.
Until next time boys and girls, " remember, to always just be yourself., it will eventually pay off..." I can not wait to go back to Buffalo! I LOVE NEW YORK!!!!
