Nordstrom Rack Grand Opening

Thursday, October 13th, was a great day!  It marked the grand opening of Nordstrom Rack in my area and I could not wait to get there. I did not know what to expect and I wondered how many people would show up for this event.  The staff began "tailgating"...

My kids love the skating rink. My oldest is done after about 45 minutes, but my youngest can skate all day. I usually go with the family and sit and watch everyone skate, but my little sister has gotten into skating. I decided to join the skating crew. Here I am...
