Shopping trip

I absolutely love it when people try to tell me that going on a shopping trip isn’t travel. In a matter of fact it is, and in my opinion it’s the best place to travel! When I go shopping in the Great Lakes Crossing Mall, it always excites me. Compared to the malls that we have in our local area, this mall, if you haven’t been there, is huge! This mall holds many of my favorite stores and as a bonus over eighty-five percent of the stores are outlets! Some of my favorite stores include, Forever 21, Coach, H & M, Victoria’s Secret, Bed Bath and Beyond, and much more. Now I have been to the Great Lakes Crossing Mall around ten or more times so I have a pretty good grasp on navigating my way around.

My junior year is a different story though, once my friend Emma and I were crazy enough to go down to Detroit in her tiny Chevrolet Metro, buy a hotel room right on the mall property, and stay the night even though we were only seventeen. The drive down was unpleasant because her car is the size of a shoebox. The fact that we didn’t have to get up early in the morning to battle traffic for over two hours was the best idea ever though! Unfortunately the only down side was spending my own money. My parents didn’t love me enough to financially support my shopping addition. So I was forced to save up as much money as I could to be able to get a few new outfits. It was a struggle but I made it out with cash to spare.

That night we decided that we wanted to experience an I-Max movie for the first time, and Emma decided we were going to see the collector.  That was a terrible idea, she made me leave the movie with her because it was to bloody and gory. We were not about to waist ten dollars on a movie we had only seen the first five minute of so we asked to see a different one and that lead to us seeing the rise of the guardians. It was the best, way to end the trip!

I love just taking random trips to the great lakes crossing mall. Yes I know it is a drive, but it gives you a chance to go out with friends and relax, allowing a whole day of nothing but shopping. It is worth the gas you spend and the time you take out of your day! What more could you ask for!
