So there we were,
Little Companion and I.
Her mommy had to work late.
Visitors are coming next week.
We could cook.
We could clean.
OR...
We could go see what the locals were doing down at the mall the weekend before Christmas.
Oh ya, we chose option #3 and off we went.
(A little traveling music here.)
Now I headed for Macy's thinking that the weekend before Christmas Macy's would have Santa, right, well, no Virgina (Miracle on 34th Street, not directed to you Grandma, love you!) there was no Santy there.

A carousel. HOW FUN IS THAT!!!!
Little Companion was ready to accept she could not ride it, but I said well, let's check it out.
Two bucks later and about a 5 minute wait we were in carousel dream world!
It's moments like this that you just love this child's animation and zest for life.
Not necessarily the moments when she makes you climb to the TOP of the carousel, HA!
Remembering the past fondly, looking forward to a bright tomorrow and loving LIVING IN THE MOMENT!

Valerie, is that the carousel in Brandon Mall?? I was out that way today. We looked at a house on the north side, and then I hopped over to Kohl's. The traffic was horrible, so I had to come home :-( Looks like your little sweetie is having a wonderful time ;-)
Merry Christmas!

Hi Jocelyn,
Yes it is in the Brandon Mall, isn't it great? Traffic was awful last night too although we did get a really good parking space. We had a lot of fun!
