Shopping Spree

Carlos and I is not a huge shopping fan. We will normally go on a shopping spree 2 or 3 times a year. We went shopping at Lancaster outlets last week as we can get better bargains than the normal stores.

Lancaster also know at Amish or Pennsylvania Dutch Country. Here you'll discover Amish communities where life moves at a slower pace and centers around time-honored traditions and values. You'll find beautiful scenery dotted with one-room schoolhouses and wooden covered bridges, modern farm machinery being pulled behind four-and six-mule teams, homemade clothing and quilts gently blowing in the breeze, and where you'll hear the clip-clop of horses' hooves echoing down quiet country roads.

The relaxing atmosphere, the peaceful scenery, and the variety of their many unique attractions and family activities have made Lancaster County one of America's favorite vacation destinations. Over five million people visit Lancaster County each year. Many people return here year after year because they find Lancaster County so special.

You will find a lot of farm land run by the Amish people along the way



The Amish
See who we saw walking on the street. I wonder what was he doing at this time of the year :)

Pinky, it's a purse :) I didn't see anything I like that day but they do have a lot of good bargain. Some of the bags less 50% :)

Ummi, I ada nampak some Amish girl tapi segan pulak nak ambil gambar dia orang. Nanti if I see them again I will take it just for you :)Dulu you tinggal kat PA jugak ?

Farina, Santa tu sesat kut :):)Is ok next you balik PA I'll take you there and makan Sho-Fly pie :)

SAHM, you were at PA too? Franklin Mills is not as huge. You should have come to King of Prussia Mall :)

Cat, this outlet is not as big and they only had a few brand which I like. My next outlet will be Woodbury in New York. There you can get Burberry, BCBG, CD etc :)

Farina, you kat VA sekarang ke? By the way we are planning out trip to CA on the 13th of June. You ada kat rumah ke?

Gert, so syok shopping at Tanger's Outlet.My place have have premium Tanger's outlet too,it's 45 minutes drive away.So long I didn't have the chance to shop at Woodbury Outlet.It's take me 2 hours drive there...hmmm for you it's might take 4-5 hours drive to Woodbury Outlet.Maybe you should visit Apple Farm and NY state scenery as well,stay for the night.It's would be much better than just going for the outlet..I love Woodbury outlet,I remember the first time I was there,we rent a car from NYC and drive there.The toll is really expensive too.You can find anything or any brand out there!Euro brand like Versace,Gabbana and etc!!.Don't forget to give me a shout when you're going there!!

Sue, I am feeling better. Thank you for asking :)

Farina, will get in touch with you soon :)

Envy, I bought a purse from Coach and some tops from BR :)

Lesley, maybe we should go to Woodbury together when I go to NY. Are you up for it and we can shop and shop :) I've been to an outlet at Palm Spring which is very similar to Woodbury.
