We were amateurs at the first store. The store opened at 10pm (11/25) and we arrived at 9:55. We didn't bring jackets, thinking we would just be running from the car to the warm store. Oh boy were we wrong. When we got there the line was wrapped around two sides of the building outside. They were only letting a few people in the store at a time so the line wasn't moving very quickly. When we couldn't find the end of the line we bailed. So off we went back home to bundle up. We didn't want to wait in the line so we went to the next store.
The next store was packed and we made another rookie mistake of grabbing a cart. We couldn't even move through the crowd. So we split, one stayed with the cart while the other grabbed the goods. We only got a couple things and stood in line FOREVER waiting to check out. But we were having a good time and headed to the next store.
The next store didn't open until 4 am. It was 1 am, but we were prepared. We brought chairs, blankets, hand warmers and feet warmers. We set up camp and made friends with our neighbors in line. We were all having a good time. IHOP even came and sold us hot chocolate. So yes we spent 3 hours waiting in line to shop. I sent Trevor a text since he was getting off work from the swing shift telling him what we were up to and he thought I was joking. He didn't believe I was sitting in a parking lot waiting for a store to open, hence the beautiful self portrait. We got what we came for and were home in our beds by 5:30am.
I don't know if I will ever do it again. But it was fun to spend the night with my sister being silly.
