We really have had an "exciting plans" for this year's Memorial Day and my family and I are looking forward to it. Frankly speaking, I made known to my "instructor", Thursday of last week before I left the classroom, that I won't be sitting in her class coming Tuesday and that I will be seeing her Wednesday morning. She agreed and I was so elated! Getting back to our "exciting plans"........my dear Dale's bestfriend who lives on the other end of the State has invited us to celebrate Memorial Day on the lake in his brand new boat. The plan was made some few months back (me being secretive about our future plans keeps me from declaring it right away hahaha) and finalized two weeks ago. Technically, as obvious reason, my dear dearest kept on monitoring the "extended forecast" for the county where we gonna have the gatherings. Stormy weather is predicted and so my dear Dale drew a "plan B" just to be on the safe side. His buddy called Monday and told us about our get-together and what sort of dishes he'll prepare. Gosh, if wouldn't have been for the fickle weather we would have so much fun. Friday came and the forecast remained the same. We can't do anything but to abort the plan. In the end, our "plan B" came in place. We went to Cumberland Mall in Atlanta and had our lunch at "P. F. Chang's China Bistro". We would have, as our original agenda hahaha, to try "Macaroni Grill" in The Summit (Birmingham) but since the wind blew on a different direction, our choice of eatery has changed too. We're over 3hrs drive from Birmingham but close by to Montgomery. The issue we have about geographic location was that our state's capitol doesn't have much to offer. Driving all the way to Atlanta is a 'lil farther but shops and restaurants selections are overwhelming which is mainly the reason why we often preferred gearing towards North rather than going South. I paid "Bebe" a visit to see if I can find anything worth buying but came out of the store empty handed hahaha. Maybe next time, I can fish out "something special" (if I get lucky)! The first store might be a 'lil dismay but "DSW" didn't disappoint me. I came out with my new "Bandolino" sandals in hand. Jann wanted a pair for herself but they don't carry kids stuff. We have to get hers from somewhere else. Here below is my new pair. Thanks for reading and I wish you all have one magical Memorial Day !!!

Pretty pair from DSW. I am loving it...the looks, the style, and above all the brand. You picked the perfect color too. TFS and have a great week.

So, how many pairs do you have now altogether [for the record]? ! You have quite alot I know [nosy me]. That is nice you have had a wonderful & meaningful MD this year. Weather turned out to be a little hard on your and your family's plan but remember there's always next time. Lovely shots you have from your Cumberland Mall trip. I always have fun viewing your album. Every shots are entertaining....

Jeth, I went to DSW not too long ago. First time ko talaga sa store na iyon!Mayroon kasi kaka open lang dito mapalit sa amin. Grabi all women shoes, imagine ang isang store ang laman lahat pang babae na sapatos! Pag pasok ko lang ang mga mata ko parang ganito, "ay gusto ko yan. ay, ito rin".:D Pero pag labas wala naman akung na bili. :D Pero babalik ako doon pag may sure na akung magamitan ng new shoes. Hehehe! Anyway, buti naman nag enjoy kayo sa long weekend. We stayed home lang ang visit Dad. Thanks for the visit ha. ~_^

Gorgeous item from DSW. That pair goes nicely with any outfit. You can't get pampered enough .

Don't forget that I'm here when you get tired of your Bandolino {BigGrin]. Smart pick for your feet *wink*.

I see you are posting the links to the places you shop. haha! these stores should pay you commision for advertising! Anyway dear, the things you purchase looks good, the places you eat sounds nice. Your shoppping and eating sounds like what we do here too. Always eating out as you know because its just "easier" than cooking. I will need to come back and read the details of your posts. I scrolled down and get to see that a "congratulations" is in order for 1st communinion! Aly just got her Confirmation a few weeks ago but that's for 8th grade. Oh I like your new "day by day" motif in here. =)
