It's A Mall, Y'all!

Yesterday, we ventured over to Bristol, England. It's about a 45 min. journey from our house, including crossing the Severn River. We had planned to go watch some hot air balloon's launch and then out to dinner, but that plan was foiled when we got stuck in city center with terrible traffic. It didn't help the stress levels when both girls began whining and moaning. We had exhausted the snack stash and they were desperate, as only a 2 year almost 3 year old and a 14 month can be. And the balloons ended up not launching until much later anyway because it was too windy.

But then I remembered...well, I actually never forgot...that there was a MALL in Bristol. I could never "forget" about a mall. So I calmly suggested to Marc that since the girls were starving and needed to eat RIGHT THEN, that we mosey on over to Cribbs Causeway Mall. He agreed and off we went-after we got out of the traffic. It was glorious! We parked the car and went straight to the food court. After feeding the hungry babes, we walked around to look at all the shops and then even splurged on a Starbucks treat!

And even better, the mall is even open till 9pm M-F. Now that is rare, most shops are closed pretty early, usually around 6pm every night. We felt like such rebels being at a mall, at 8pm. Marc commented on the way to the car, that apparently being at the mall on a Friday night is not the place to hang out. We looked around at the almost empty car park and he was right...not many people. We are so cool.

Yes, I know...I really took pictures of the mall. Don't judge me, I don't get out much.
