Over the last two weeks, I’ve done more shopping than I have in the last 10 years.
Okay, maybe that’s an exaggeration, but I think I’m close.
On arrival, I visited TJ Maxx and found a Life is Good shirt. $7.99.
Day two saw me at Milipitas Great Mall with Off Saks and Neimann Marcus Last Call.
By the third day, en route to LA, I stopped at Gilroy Premium Outlets.
On the first day of LA visit, it was Costco.
On the second, I was at Camarillo Premium Outlets and Nordstrom Rack.
On the way to Yosemite, I managed to find another Nordstrom Rack at Fresno, and then found an REI and Sur La Table.
Two days in Yosemite, I had no problems not shopping, but obviously someone had withdrawal symptoms. Our way back saw stops in Modesto and Manteca for TJ Maxxes, Super Targets and Super Wal-Marts.
Then there was shopping the next day in Walnut Creek and the following at Gilroy Premium Outlets.
In my earlier US trip, I visited Tanger Outlets in Salt Lake City and Barstow, CA and Premium Outlets in Folsom and another in Las Vegas.
My list of shopping continues…

wow. I am very impressed.
