Canadians Love Target




Target has always been one of those must-go-to stores when we have vacationed across the line.
It's one of the places we made memories as we visited with family.
One memory that stands out, goes back to 2006,
when Julene was home from Indonesia
and we had a rare opportunity for a quick flight to visit Kristal in Phoenix.
We loaded three very little cousins into the cart and very literally shopped till we dropped.
Target, especially to someone living in Indonesia, was the place that had it all . . .
 and no crying babies were going to stop us as she loaded up for going back!
We made a bed in the cart with soft housecoats,
switched soothers / pacifiers from one to the next,
whatever worked!

It's in understanding the anticipation and excitement of this kind of obsession,
that you may get why I'm still in disbelief that . . .
sisters and Target have converged in Canada!
 



On Monday, with those three "very little cousins" in school now and the next three in childcare,
we decided to check out the new Target Store. The cart was soon covered with shorts and t-shirts for growing kids. We had lunch in the food court and then headed home.
 
 
It was like a mini vacation at home!

I like Target the best...it's clean and organized. Can't wait till our Chilliwack target opens.
When we go down South...I always look for Target!

We have target in Australia, too. It is a good store, but none of the ones I have been to here have a food court! Looks like you had a lovely time with your family.

We have two Targets located nearby and what fun they provide for us. I agree with the "mini vacation" concept. Cute pictures!
