Coming from Canada we always stop at the Cracker Barrel for Thanks giving Dinner on Thursday night and then head straight to bed at the hotel. We are up at 4:00 the next morning and go all day until 8 p.m. went we head to our favorite American resturant for pasta, bread and salad: The Olive Garden. The next day we are up early again and shop until evening when we head across the boarded back home to wrap and stack our presents and compare with all the others who also shopped on Black Friday. This is a yearly tradition for me and my friends - this is year 6 for us!

Black Friday is a shopping tradition for me and has evolved from a one day trip to Port Huron to a three day excursion to Saginaw. We head over Thursday night where we stop at the Cracker Barrell for Thanksgiving dinner (you can never get enough turkey). We hit the hotel, get a copy of the paper and start looking through the ads (although we already know what is on sale from Gotta Deal!) After a quick swim or a soak in the hotel hot-tub, we get a good nights sleep and hit the Walmart for 5:00 a.m. We shop all day in Saginaw and then head to Birch Run for a full day of shopping there on Saturday. Saturday night we head back to Canada with all the great purchases we made. It used to my major shopping trip and now it has turned into a weekend away with the girls with the additional perk of getting some great deals. I am counting the days ......
