Vacation 2021
Unbeknownst to you guys (or at least, I hope you didn’t notice any differences while I was gone!), I prewrote all of the last two weeks’ descriptions before heading out on an eight-day long vacation, which I just got back from several days ago. I had lots of fun, and even though it wasn’t intended to be a retail-oriented vacation in full, my parents were very generous and accompanied me to several different stores, all of which I’m excited to share with y’all here and on my blog in the future. The highlights from the trip include my first-ever Pub Sub and Lidl cookie experiences (even though I didn’t get any pictures of those two stores)… visits to a Winn-Dixie that is a Winn-Dixie, a Winn-Dixie that is *not* a Winn-Dixie, and a Kroger that is not a Kroger… seeing some fallen leaves, and some river rock walls… enjoying the rarity of one of the last P97 Target stores (besides Horn Lake!), and what may well be the last surviving Wal-Mart in America (and no, that's not a typo)… and finally, checking out a rogue franchisee of a once-broken, now-extinct foodservice chain. Even cooler, all but three of those were totally unplanned! Teasers for most of those can be seen behind those links; altogether, I managed to compile enough content for nearly half a year on flickr, in addition to three blog posts – wow!
As for the actual vacation itself, even though we only went to three main destinations it feels like we were all over, literally stretching all the way from the Gulf Coast to the Smoky Mountains! We also got in a long-overdue visit to our relatives in-between. For those of y’all who are out there enjoying your own vacations this summer, hope you’re having fun and staying safe! And for those of y’all who are looking forward to seeing my photosets from these retail visits, just fair warning to please be patient with me, as with my backlog it will likely take a long time for me to get to, and through, them. That said, I’ll do my best to sprinkle them in amongst all the other photosets lying in wait, with the first blog post hopefully going up later this year…
More Southaven Walmart photos to come this Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday, so stick around for that! :)

These places are public so these photos are too, but just as I tell where they came from, I'd appreciate if you'd say who :)
