Got up kinda late, around 10. We ate and sat around the condo watching the weather channel. We got bored and decided to go to Sawgrass Mills Mall and walk around. it is the 2nd largest mall in the State and the 6th largest mall in the US. It is 2.3 million square feet. Here is some info I cut and pasted.
Sawgrass Mills is a shopping mall operated by the Simon Property Group, in Sunrise, Florida, a city in Broward County. With 2,383,906 square feet (221,472.1 m2) of retail selling space,[1] it is the sixth largest mall in the United States, and the second largest in Florida. The mall opened in 1990 as the third mall developed by the now-defunct Mills Corporation (now part of Simon Property Group), and has been expanded three times since then, most recently in 2006. There are over 300 retail outlets and name brand discounters, with anchors including Off 5th, J.C. Penney Outlet, and Super Target.
Because of its size, Sawgrass Mills is divided into three parts: the mall itself with four "Avenue" sections; the "Oasis", an outdoor component open since 1999 including Regal 23 Cinemas, Ron John Surf Shop, and Nordstrom Rack. The "Colonnade Outlets at Sawgrass" opened in 2006 as an upscale lifestyle area with shops and restaurants, anchored by Last Call! Neiman Marcus. Additionally, there are numerous "outparcel" stores and plazas.
There were a ton of people in there and I think Bonnie and I were the only people in there that had english as their first language. Its a pretty cool place, they have every known kind of store in there. We spent the day in there and only spent about 30 bucks. and that included lunch! We left for home around 6, stopped and picked up the social network movie, headed home and ate dinner and watched the movie. We did make our list for garage sales tomorrow so we are ready to find some treasures in the morning. Gotta go to bed so I am focused in the morning.
You guys are doing a great job of being frugal. There is no way Robyn and I could spend an entire day at a super mall and walk away having only spent 30 bucks.
ReplyDeleteIf you have some more ebay sales like the sunglasses pretty soon you will be rich and can spend a lot more at the mall. I'm pulling for ya.
Glad to see you are having a good time. You need more things for ebay. Usually the rummages are good, but I guess a lot of people are doing the same thing you guys are. Hope I can come out there one of these day, and see these places you are talking about...sounds like so much fun to me...lov ya
