[quote=flu]The mall thing is great if you don’t have kids. Once you have a family and kids, you probably won’t be taking that stroll over to the mall as much as you think.[/quote]

Oh? I thought that is where (with kids)we’ll do the grocery shopping, eat at Red Robin or Oggi’s, shop in Barnes & Noble, play in the playground near B&N, paint ceramics with the kids at Ceramicafe, go with the kids at JW Tumbles indoor kid gym….There is also a daycare (kindercare?) there. Even though we don’t live in the area a couple times we went in the weekend there and make a combined trip with shopping at the more ‘gourmet’ store there.
