Reply:Clinton, Connecticut, has a huge an amazing upscale shopping outlet lf the major lines from Europe. Also, Gig Harbor, in Washington State has a similar one. If you're looking for warmer areas, try San Juan, Puerto Rico (Old San Juan and Plaza Las Americas), and/or Charlotte Amalie, in St. Thomas-U.S.V.I.
Reply:How about a place where you can not only go shopping but see a national park as well? If this tickles your fancy, then come on down to Pigeon Forge (lots of outlet malls) and Gatlinburg, Tennessee! Gatlinburg is like the Myrtle Beach of the mountains! And when you get tired of shopping, the Great Smokey Mountains National Park is right outside Gatlinburg. Something for everyone!
Reply:I live 20 miles from the world's second largest shopping mall-The Mall of America. It's in Bloomington,MN-a southern suburb of the Twin Cities. The Mall of America has 400 stores, dozens of restaurants,an indoor amusement park,an aquarium, and a movie theater. Illinois is only a 6 hour drive from MN.We also have at least five other malls that I can think of. One interesting fact about the Twin Cities is that the nation's first shopping mall is here.It's Southdale in the wealthy community of Edina. Close to it is a nice mall called The Galleria. I think you and your family would like the shopping environment in the Twin Cities.
