Day 9: Black Friday

Not having as much time to do a blog as I'd like. We often get back to our room late and after getting ready for bed I have no time! Apologies for any mistakes I have made and no doubt will do, as when I have been doing them it is normally quite late.

Just a quick update with mostly pics of what we got up to today...

Today is Black Friday and they have sales over here just like we do on Boxing Day.
Mum and I set off to the city shopping while the boys went off to a Science Centre and sightseeing. I was very much looking forward to some alone shopping time, although to the boys credit, they are usually very patient when we want to have a quick look in a shop!!
Already cheap items compared to back home, became even cheaper, doing damage to the travel cards. The crowds were absolutely insane everywhere you went. In one shop there was a queue of 100 people at the very least. In those stores we just gave up and walked out. We are patient, but that is ridiculous! I'd go as far to stay that they were worse than our Boxing Day sales.

Mum and I lugged bags around the San Fran Westfield and the stores in the city nearby and in total we shopped in the city for about 6 hours.

Two new additions to the family!! (A Mickey and a Goofy)

A proper pic of them to come!

After getting back to our room with VERY tired and sore legs, Mum, Dad and I then again set off to Fishermans Wharf and Pier39. Daniel stayed back at the room while we got dinner and looked at the shops. Yet again a little more damage was done!!

We are off on a long drive tomorrow before a stop over in Barstow tomorrow night on our way to the Grand Canyon. I'd say it is just a coincidence that Barstow happens to have a large outlet centre!!
Okay, maybe it was planned, but we are very much looking forward the Black Friday sales at the outlet stores too!
