Horseback Riding and the Outlet Mall

Our first full day we started out with bacon and eggs, cleaned up and headed for Five Oaks Riding Stables.

 

For the girls and me it was our first time on a real horse.  We took a one hour trail ride up and down a mountain.  Boo Boo, who I thought would love the ride, was terrified.  Miss Kitty and Bookster were  a little worried, I found out later, but they didn't let on.  It was a hot, humid day, but much of the time we were in the woods and the shade kept us cooler.

 

After that we had lunch at a place that had a deceiving name.  I can't remember it but it was actually a southern version of a White Castle!  Hubby was in heaven, the rest of us were well, not so much in heaven.  We choked down our food and headed to the outlet mall.  Miss Kitty and I hit the Scrapbook clearance store where we stocked up on mountain/cabin themed goodies.  Bookster tagged along while Booboo went tool shopping with Dad.

 

We hit various home stores, LTD too, kitchen stores, etc...Hubby could only take it for so long.  We found a As Seen on TV store that was so so.  Hubby started getting sick (I suspect it was the lunch!) and headed to the car.  I then found someone to go search the inventory for a book Hubby wanted called 1001 All Natual Remedies for a Pest Free Lawn.  They found it and walah!  I had his birthday present and he didn't suspect a thing.

 

After resting in the van for a bit, he took us to one more outlet mall that had a Black & Decker store in it.  While he looked there the girls and I hit The Book Warehouse, and Kaybee Outlet store.  By the time we made it home we were all wiped out.  We managed the strength to grill our chicken, play pool, and soak in the hot tub before going to bed.
