Holiday Toy Shopping - Woodbridge, VA

"If you see it, buy it!"

It's been my motto for a long time...especially when shopping Potomac Mills Mall around holiday time.

This year, it is even more important to do just. Go ahead, blame the economy but we can also blame overall shortages and emaciated inventories. No overstock problems this year!

There were plenty of Christmas in July sales but the Christmas wares were up and displayed long before October 31.

Shortages of nearly all the top holiday toys are not just possible - they are a real fact.

So now more than ever, No procrastinating - if you see it, buy it!

Otherwise we'll all have to shop Amazon!

Cici's Pizza @ Foulger Square Woodbridge VA

How do you get to Cici's Pizza restaurant from Potomac Mills?

Well...there are several ways to get to Cici's from the mall. It should take you no more than 5 minutes to travel the less than 2 miles.

  • Via Potomac Mills Circle, the perimeter road around the mall.

  • Via Smoketown Road.
  • Gideon Drive near Nordstrom Rack is a quick exit to Smoketown Road.

    There is another exit at the light across from Garfield High School.

    The exits will take you to Smoketown road. Drive north on Smoketown. Cross the intersection with the Prince William Parkway.

    Continue down Smoketown and take a right at the second traffic light - the Foulger Square shopping center.

    Driving down the shopping center entrance, stay in the left lane - drive to the stop sign past the clock tower and take a left. You'll quickly see Cici's on your left.

    Woodbridge VA Halloween Photos

    There's a trick to it...even with the best of digital cameras.

    In my case, the young spooks are always on the move so I better figure out how to make the action stop.

    Photography is a life long hobby of mine and I tend to rely on what I've learned since the day of the Brownie camera to help me with various camera settings

    but I'm not beyond learning a few new tricks from the best of them:

    The New York Institute of Photography

    Especially when it comes to taking great photos at the Creepy Carnival at the Chinn Center on Friday the 30th.

    Yes indeed, Halloween is on a Saturday this year - now let's hope we have dry weather.


    Toys for Christmas @ Woodbridge VA Walmart

    Who doesn't need toys for Christmas?...

    Get the Hottest Toys at Wal-Mart and I, for one, better get to it sooner than later it would seem.

    According to CNN, we need to go...right now, before Halloween - to WalMart.

    There are two stores in the area, one located in Woodbridge at 14000 Worth Ave, (703) 490-0346, between the Prince William Parkway and Potomac Mills Mall.

    The second store is in Dumfries, off Route 1, at 17041 Jefferson Davis Hwy, (703) 221-0124

    Check this out:

    "Wal-Mart, meanwhile, is punching back by pricing 100 different popular toys at $10 each this holiday season. This is a departure from prior years when Wal-Mart had knockoffs of name-brand toys priced at $5, $10 or $15. This year, you'll see popular toys from Lego, the Littlest Pet Shop, Mattel, Nerf, Tonka and more." CNN
