Memorial Day was my 31st birthday!! I was especially looking forward to this birthday because last year I didn't even realize I turned 30. You see, Claire was barely over a month old, so my birthday was way down on the priority list! So, this year I got to make up for it. I was allowed to choose the day's activities. What do you think I chose? Shopping, of course!! And not just any shopping, OUTLET shopping!!! This was Lee's worst nightmare :) But being the wonderful perfect husband that he is, he stuck to his word and agreed to hit Dawsonville with me. Knowing that this is the absolute last way he'd like to spend the holiday, I decided it would be best if Mom, Gretchen, Claire and I went on up and got a head start. Then Lee and Dad could join us in the afternoon. That's just what we did, and boy was it a good idea!
Claire, who's got you??
When we first pulled into the parking lot I noticed a big new store that was not open the last time I visited. It was a LOFT outlet. I heard angels singing!! I parked and barely got the stroller out and Claire situated before I was hitting the sale racks! It was wonderful!!
Claire's adorable shoes. I love her feet!!The girls spent most of the morning and early afternoon in the Loft and other clothing shops before the boys joined us for a little home decor shopping. After we had exhausted, and I do mean exhausted, all of the outlets, we headed down 400 towards North Pointe for dinner. Before we ate, we stopped in at the Bassett furniture store. Lee had found a couch on sale online and we wanted to see it in person. We loved it, and so I got a couch for my birthday! Finally, we were off to eat Italian at Buca di Beppo. Yummy!!

All-in-all, I had a wonderful birthday. I spent it with my favorite people in the world doing my favorite thing in the world while eating my favorite food in the world! What more could a girl ask for???
