Whoa! Let me tell you. I've got to strategically plan this next year. I can not believe the amount of people and lines I witnessed today.
It was madness. I thought I was playing it the smart way. Got up this morning and decided at the last minute to drive to Winchester to shop. Not only would I surprise mom but I would hit multiple stores all in a matter of a few hours. See in Winchester, they've got Kohl's, Walmart, Target, Ross, a mall, Costco all conveniently located within a mere few blocks/miles of each other.... but in Ashburn there's Kohl's 9 miles away, Target 5 miles away, Walmart 8 miles. Some of these stores are near each other but it's still such a pain to get from one store to the next. With Cody in tow, I need to get-r-done!
So, I showed up at mom's unannounced and she was completely surprised. We hit Walmart for school supplies, and all the department stores for clothes. I was really focusing on jeans or pants for Cody. He seems to have enough tops but pants....not so much. Unfortunately, all the stores were super crowed and I just didn't find what I wanted. Which was kind of surprising. Normally I can always find something at Kohl's. I even looked for shoes with no luck. I'm so bummed!
Had I planned this better, I would have taken off Friday and shopped while everyone else was at work. I was not prepared for this challenge. Next year, I'll be ready.
