Westgate Plaza

Besides coming to Grow with Me, have you shopped around at Westgate lately? You could easily make a day of it if you are shopping alone, and at least a good half-day with the kids.

So here's the plan: while you are checking what fits and what doesn't for winter, put the best aside to sell at Grow With Me. Then come on in and drop it off right before lunch. While you are waiting for us to go through your things, take the kids for something to eat at Barry's Bagels, or over to Star's Cafe or The Old Siam if they are more adventurous. When you are done with lunch, head over to Just Baked to get cupcake desserts. Now that the kids' tummies are full and they are on that sugar high, let them frolic with the kittens over at University Aquarium. And you might as well pick up a treat for your furry critter at home. When the sugar has worn off, spend some quiet time reading at the library and pick up a few books for home. Run a few of your own errands at Rite Aid or Staples or Hallmark. Dare you try TJ Maxx? Well, they've behaved so well, go ahead and take them into Learning Express so they can pick out some items to put on your holiday shopping list. Then head on back to Grow With Me, and use some of the store credit you just earned.

Voila! Half the day is gone and what a fabulous afternoon you've all just had! Hope to see you soon.
