>Well it’s out last day in Myrtle Beach. We just finished breakfast and I’m about to enjoy my Starbucks on the couch with the pup and a couple of magazines I picked up yesterday. Gahhh, vacation goes by way too fast. I’m determined to make this trip seem a little longer so as soon as I digest I’m hitting the BEACH for a RUN and gettin’ some Vitamin D!
But first a little recap…
Yesterday I hit the jackpot. Well the outlet jackpot. I scored so much stuff at seriously unbelievably prices. I robbed hit up:
– JCrew
– Banana
– Under Armour
– Nike
– Kitchen store (can’t remember the name)
Biggest score was at Under Armour. I bought 5 tanks, 1 tee, 1 pair shorts, 1 pair pants, and vest for just over $100! Isn’t that incredible?????! Apparently some of my items were “irregulars” meaning they can’t be sold in stores so were shipped to the outlets. For example, my tank “irregularities” included a “misprinted” black logo rather than the desired silver. I’ll take it!
New outfit a la Nike and UA
(love the pants)
(so serious)

While vacationing with my fam, The Manfriend and I always like to cook at least one meal from scratch.
