Monday morning after having breakfast at Mc Donald's we headed to the Colorado Mill's Mall. This is the closest outlet mall to Denver. And it's just a hop and skip from where we were anyway. Like I told Noboru, I shop the outlets and Target first and whatever I can't find there, I will then go to the regular mall. But I always try to find it cheaper at an outlet or Target first! Being penny wise is such a good idea always. Well, at least I think so! : )
Also right next to the outlet is an open 24 hours a day, Super Target! And an Old Navy is right across the street. So, I got 3 birds with 1 stone on this day! : )
And of course there has to be the pic of a person skiing out front of the mall because we do take skiing and other snow sports quite seriously in Colorado. Ha ha ha *winks* : )
We were there right when they opened, hence nobody in the food court yet. Also, love the big carousal in the middle of the food court! And the sky lights on top. It's a very nice mall and I always come here whenever I am back "home" in Denver.
I did go into the Children's place and I got 1 thing and it was only $1.99. 
I went into the Gap. I was one of their first customers that morning. I was in there over an hour. And we bought so much from there, we ended up walking out with 2 huge bags of stuff. The deals were just too good to pass up and the stuff was at such amazing prices! I had to really take advantage of these good deals, especially with 2 growing kids.
This store had some excellent stuff! And I feel happy because I feel like I was a smart shopper buying from the outlet saving my family money and yet we got some amazing fall and winter finds. So, I thought it was a win win for us all really! : )
Taking a break in front of the Carter's store. I loved Carter's for my boys when they were little kids, but I didn't shop in there now since they are sorta too big for that store. I was looking for the Osh Kosh store but was sad to hear they left this mall. Bummer! : )
We went to Target next door and did about an hours worth of aisle surfing and shopping. And then we headed back to the outlet mall for lunch. My favorite place is the Japanese place. It's very Japanese American in flavor and I love that and miss it. : ) It is called Hibachi san. The hubby always rolls his eyes over the name, lol. But he also likes the food. I had spicy teriyaki chicken, and sesame chicken, and noodles and some steam veggie on the side. It was so good and very filling. Also it was all white meat. So glad that's the typical in America. Because I do have the preference for white meat. So, I was happy and stuffed. : )
Noboru had beef and chicken. And he asked for extra rice. : ) Noah had Japanese lunch what we had. And Branden had Burger King. Because B has the preference for western food. But we all had a nice lunch. Headed back to the hotel by 1:20 pm. And we went to my aunties house. Saw so many of my cousins. We had canoli. Sausage and pepper ones. And then we left. We did more site seeing. And then for dinner we went to one of my favorite restaurants.
Homemade ravioli, ravioli so big nearly as big as your hand! And homemade pasta! The meatballs are so flavorful and melt in your mouth! We had salad and wedding soup! Ahh, comfort food! I love this place.
Bova's restaurant probably one of the top 3 Italian American restaurants around the Denver area! I love this place! While in Denver, we ate Italian at least once a day. And American everyday and I think we had Mexican food twice! I wanted to go eat Thai food, but we just didn't have the time! Hopefully next time! : ) I will have my dad take pics for Christmas this coming year at one of my aunties house. It's an Italian pasta feast! Just wait, I'll ask him to take pics this coming Christmas! : )
