I am currently experiencing a long weekend. We have Monday off for President’s Day. We also had yesterday off to make the weekend even longer. I think the idea is that if we don’t have any snow days, this would be a winter break to help us get through the difficult month of February.
I wanted to travel somewhere to commemorate the weekend, but I couldn’t decide where to go. I was thinking of doing an over-nighter, but took too long to think about it and it was getting late, so I decided to just go to Tysons Corner mall. It’s a mall in the DC area that I’ve heard is big and well-appointed.
It was more of a closed configuration – not many large open spaces.
It was nice, but I’m not sure that it’s much bigger or nicer than malls in the Baltimore area. Still, it was fun to walk around. There was a Restoration Hardware store there. I haven’t been to one of those in a long time.
Before I headed back, I stopped at Starbucks. I was feeling sleepy, and thought maybe I should have some caffeine. I ordered my usual – a latte with raspberry syrup. The cashier commented about how unusual of an order that was. Last time I ordered it, a different cashier said the same thing. I think it’s tasty, but apparently it’s unusual enough to warrant comments.
It’s like raspberry chocolate.
What else is the raspberry syrup for if not to put in coffee? I don’t understand Starbucks.
Restoration Hardware!! Are they back to being funny, or is it just snooty now?
I went into the store specifically looking for toys and gadgets, and didn’t see any.
I do like what their stuff looks like. I could live in a house that is completely decorated with the things in their store. I could not, however, spend the kind of money it would take to decorate a house with the things in their store.
I don’t think I know anyone who loves malls & stores more than you and who loves to go so often just to look. Unless its Barnes & Noble. That I get.
