Target is coming, target is coming...


I just can't seem to say it enough: TARGET IS COMING!!!

Yes, in a completely un-kid-related post, I have to share my complete joy that Target is finally coming to Hawaii.  While those of you that have Target on a day-to-day basis think, "big deal," it is very exciting to me.  After living in Hawaii for almost 13 years without a Target, I have truly come to appreciate it.  It is one of the places that I go to first when I go home, and could probably go every day and spend hours just looking around.  The deals!  Awesome kid's clothes!  Household items!  Great designers that make things just for Target!!  (Tiff - Orla Kiely has a houseware line just for Target).

T-minus 3 days till opening.  March 4th is the "soft" opening, and the 8th is their official grand opening.  And even better, they are opening in Kapolei, a mere 10 minutes from my house and REVERSE traffic!  How great is that?

Slowly we are getting my favorite stores here in Hawaii.  I blogged about the recent opening of Whole Foods (hooray!, and I drive 40 minutes, with the constant risk of traffic for this one), and we recently got a Nordstrom and J. Crew.  Give me a Trader Joe's, Crate and Barrel and Pottery Barn, and life would just about be perfect.

And yes, if you want to know, I plan to be at Target on the 4th.  Although I have to work that day, I will load up the girls and head on over there afterwards.  Good thing Noa is on another trip.  There's no one to shake their head at me.

Oh I TOTALLY understand. I was MISERABLE living in Leesburg Virginia UNTIL our Super Target (the first with a full fledged grocery store inside) and our Costco opened. I thought I'd died and gone to heavan, and am now there every other day. In fact, I've gotta run right now because those two stores are calling!
