Dallas Shopping on a Saturday

Saturday morning we wanted to find a Disney store for treasures to begin our exciting journey where we anticipate our trip to Disney!!  We found one at NorthPark Center Mall in North Dallas ... and what a treat we found by going to that mall.  Lots and lots of stores that we don't normally see in local malls - Nieman Marcus, Dillard's, Nordstoms, and many more!

We had a ball in Disney finding t-shirts, watching the big movie screen and searching for hidden Mickeys.  It was a great reminder of all the magic and excitement we are in store for in just a few weeks!

From Disney we found our way to the Apple store, Gymboree, the Lego store, Vera Bradley, Aveda, Origins, Microsoft and window shopped at several others along the way!

Lighting isn't great - this is Ellie holding up the Apple outside the store!

a large water and stone arrangement in the center of the mall featured turtles
large and small swimming, eating and resting for us to view


The Lego Store
Ellie choosing colors to fill her bucket - reminded me of a big candy store!

And after all our shopping and tons of walking we found our lunch spot - PF Changs.  Bill and I have each been there separately in different cities when traveling on business.  This was our first visit as a family.  And in all the burgers and BBQ we eat these days - this was delicious!

Spring rolls, Chicken Lettuce Wraps, Shrimp Pad Thai and Crispy Honey Chicken was our feast - and yes, we had some leftovers to take home.  They'll be a treat on Sunday afternoon!

From there I wanted to make a 'dry-run' to my new building because my department moves over the weekend .. I packed my office on Friday afternoon and will go to my new space on Monday morning.  Kinda scary to have all the newness.  So I took Bill and Ellie on a tour!!
