HOME BOUND

last week we, my husband ... i was the co-pilot, drove from OK to VA {21 hrs} ... stayed overnight in nashville ... rested at the lovely hutton hotel (west end) ... stopped by the mall at green hills for a little shopping ... i had to check out the anthropologie accessories store ... it was really cute & the workers were very nice ... found a few deals at j.crew too ... the next day we continued our drive ... our next pit stop was lynchburg va... we couldn't drive through lynchburg w/o stopping at the j.crew clearance store {both of them} the prices were reasonable ... most blouses were $30 ... sweaters $40 ... sandals $50 ... i can't believe i only purchase one item {husband racked up} ... overall the trip was great ... it was nice being on the road with my hubby ... the ride through VA was awesome ... all the greenery was amazing ... oh how i miss home!
