A Day, A Week, Hemant, A Year

Monday my sister was back to work and the nanny was in to watch the kids, so Michelle and I thought that this would be a good opportunity to do some shopping while in St. Charles.  My sister works from home so she took a few minutes out of her day to drive us to an outdoor shopping mall called Geneva Commons.

Before we hit the stores we realized it was just after noon so we figured we’d better grab a bite to eat.  We went to a restaurant in the area and ordered from the lunch menu.  Wow.  I had forgotten how big meal sizes are in U.S. restaurants.  Neither of us were even close to finishing our meals.

There were a lot of great stores in the mall and we found a bunch of great prices on clothing, but we held off on buying anything since we were planning on shopping while in downtown Chicago.  With the U.S. and Canadian dollars being even right now, the considerably lower price of clothing in the States is really hard to pass by.

I was feeling quite parched since It was a super hot day again so we found a place to get a nice refreshing drink.  Many of you may know of Michelle’s great disdain for Starbucks.  She has vowed to never support this establishment.

She was not impressed that I took this picture.
