Vera Bradley

My sisters, cousin and I have an annual tradition of heading to Fort Wayne, Indiana for the Vera Bradley outlet sale.  This year my mom and a few others joined in the fun - we had a great time as always.  We headed out the night before and had dinner together then headed to the hotel for games, laughter and bed as we had to get up before the crack of dawn the next morning.  This year we had 2 babies along, so we weren't sure what to expect but they did great!  We stopped at Panera for coffee and breakfast then were in line waiting to get in by 6:30am.  The doors opened at 7:30 and we were off!  We all ended up with some good stuff at awesome prices.  I found the one bag I was going for - score! :) Can't wait for next year!

A little shopping with Aunt Whitney before the others arrived. 

Babies ready to shop!

The crowd in line.




At the sale you throw anything you might possibly want into a garbage bag then find a spot on the side to sort through everything.  This is our pile of things to sort through - I promise we didn't buy it all :)  Carson had fun climbing over all of the bags.



Zonked out from shopping.

Mom, can I ride here?


Happy to be heading home!
