Few weeks back, my sisters and I decided to make a trip to the Mall of America. During the trip one of my sisters stated that she was interested in finding a clothing store that specializes in children's clothes. As for my other sister and I, we were interested in shopping to purchase something for ourselves as well as our husbands. As soon as we reached at the mall we found a directory. There was a listing for a clothing store for every apparel item anyone could want.

First, we started at a clothing store for children's apparel. My sister had selected several items for her grandchildren. At the side of the children's store was a coffee bar where we had wonderful coffee and Danish. After a quick break, it was off to the next clothing store. According to the directory the store I was interested in was up one flight of stairs from the coffee bar. At this clothing store I found a very unique shirt for the summer.

We were very happy with the prices and how simple it was to locate the stores that we were interested in. Our next stop we headed to a great store that specialized in golfing apparel. We each found something for our husband's, so that they would have a memento of our shopping trip also. This sure seemed like a fitting purchase considering they were golfing together as we shopped.

My oldest sister still wanted to find a clothing store that handled swimwear. She was looking forward to go on a cruise and wanted to buy a swimsuit with a matching cover up. Though we found a shop that exclusively handled swimwear but it was geared for young girls. However the manager of the swimwear shop recommended we check another clothing store on the third level of the mall. The store she directed us to specialize entirely in cruise wear. My sister was pleased with the selection in this clothing store. They had a number of swimsuits and cover ups for her to select from and also evening wear. This specialty store was more expensive than the others we had been in, but the quality of the apparel seemed worth the extra cost.

Just next to the specialty store that specialized in cruise wear we found another directory to help us find a restaurant to eat lunch at. We located a fantastic restaurant that was just across an accessory store that we were all interested in looking at. At this store we each found jewelry that complimented the clothing we had purchased earlier.

For sure, our trip to the Mall of America was a great deal of fun. We each not only found a clothing store that suited our taste but also our budget. At the end we did not have time or energy left to try out the hundreds of other stores that are in the mall. We agreed that our next trip we would concentrate on shopping in the specialty shops rather than our favorite clothing store.
