Early
Bird Shopping
Every
November around Thanksgiving me and a few other girls go down to the
early bird shopping down to Boothbay Harbor, Maine. We wake up at
5:00AM in the morning and we go shopping in our pajamas . If you
wear your pajamas you get a 50% discount. For the last 2 years I
have brought my friend named Mariah. The bad news last year was she
had broken her foot a couple days before we left, so she had to wear
a big bulgy cast on her foot.
On
the way to Boothbay we talked about a lot of things and asked a lot
of questions like, “are we there yet”? “how much
longer”?. We also liked to talk about what we are going to buy
for presents because everything is on sale. When we got there we
checked into the Flagship Inn and brought our stuff to our room.
After that we went out to eat at the pizza place. We had a really
good time there eating pizza and hanging out with family and friends.
My
aunt Judy lives down to Boothbay, so after pizza we went and saw her
for a little while. Then we went back to the hotel to go to bed
because we had to get up early in the morning.
At
about 4:30 the next morning we woke up. We didn`t need to get
dressed, so we hopped into the car and left. We started at the shoe
place and ended at enchantments, Enchantments. Enchantments is so
cool! they have all kinds of cool things hanging from the ceiling and
off the walls . It is so cool ,but very expensive on some things.
Some other stores we went to were The Hutch, Smiling Cow, Canary, The
Christmas Store, The Pet Store, Life Is Good, Sherman`s, The Corner
Store and Angels Unaware.
After
we are done shopping we usually go have a BIG breakfast at Mr. C`s.
All my family and friends who went shopping with us went including
Mariah ,Gram,Auntie Beth, Aunt Kathy, Aunt Tammy, cousin Hattie,
cousin Hillary, cousin Hannah, Holly, Aunt Judy, and my aunt Judy`s
friend Ramona, she is at least 90 and she acts as if she is 20 ramona
is really fun to hang out with she always puts a smile on your face
even when no one else can she is the best. We sat around a big huge
table filled with love and laughter. We talk about what we bought and
stupid things I life that are happening. I could feel the laughter
and love build up inside of me. Then the silence was broke by may I
take your order, I told her what I wanted then I went back to talking
with friend mariah.
When
we were done breakfast we said our goodbyes and then we headed home
on the way home we showed each other our purchases. We also shared
to each other of how poor we were because cause we spent so much
money down to Boothbay. But it was really fun to spend time with
family and friends!
The End!
