Drove with Sylvia all the way the down I-5 to the very last U.S. exit before hitting the Mexican border to accompany her on a shopping trip to both the San Ysidro Village shopping center as well as the much more attractive Las Americas Premium Outlets. At San Ysidro Village we went into Marshalls, Anna’s Linens and Ross but didn’t find anything she wanted at any of them. I however found some interesting items to shoot inside Marshalls. Across the street at Las Americas we visited New Balance, Skechers and Nike (needless to say I wouldn’t mind NOT smelling new shoes again for a while) as well as the Disney Store. Didn’t make a purchase at any of those places either except to put things on hold at the Disney Store for a return trip on Friday. Not a very productive shopping trip but still a fun social outing with my long-time friend. After walking through the indoor food court and burning the roof of my mouth on a sample of scalding baked potato that didn’t have much flavor, we ended our outing with a visit to Sprouts Farmers Market for her weekly vegetable purchase.
