6/16 - The trip to Mall of Georgia!

What started out as a shopping trip for Father's Day, ended up as a United Nations experience!

Stephanie and I planned a girl's day out and David, Don, and the boys were not included. We were going to go to the Mall of Georgia for the day! Unfortunately, we never made it!

Steph picked me up and we soon realized that the road we needed to take was a parking lot. No problem, a quick U-turn and we're on our way to the secondary road. Seems everyone else had that idea, too. Quick turn down a street and......WE'RE LOST! LOL

We decided to go to Gwinnett Place Mall instead. No problem! Get on the right interstate and get off at the exit.....problem! No left turn and no other way into the Mall. SOoooooooo-----quick U-turn on the on-ramp and we get into the mall! Finally!

We went to Sears first to get Don's gift! All three of the people who waited on us had different accents. Great to hear them. I noticed everyone in the mall was different from us. No scared, just intrigued. Steph said the area is very diverse because of school and technology groups.

Off to lunch.....no problem! Except the restaurant isn't open on Saturdays. Now what to do with picky eater MOM! She (me) decides a Chinese restaurant would be ok. The food was good, but the waitress who spoke little English kept coming to the table and asking if the food tasted all right. I think she meant (hope she meant) was the meal all right and not the food! LOL

Steph decided to pit stop before we headed out again. She didn't come back and she didn't come back and she didn't come back. Finally! She's back. Turns out when you visit the restrooms, the door signs are Hawaiian! Also there are six other doors back there. When she came out of the restroom, she couldn't find the right door back into the restaurant. Glad she told me to look out or I'd never made it back either!

We headed back to the house where Lensey and Adam were to meet us. They came over to celebrate Father's Day with David. Good to see them!

Uneventful evening....just more rain! LOL

See ya down the road!
