I am with you! I love being out and about like that, especially during the fall. I have stores I love to go to and just look around in, even when I know I'm not going to buy. I'll stop and grab a Coke Zero (I can't do coffee in the summer!), then grab lunch at another spot. My favorite is when I take a day off work just to do that!
Speaking of...I was in Target the other day and they were rolling out their back to school stuff. I love it, because around here they'll keep it out through mid-September, then it will be replaced with Halloween stuff. In mid-October, Christmas items start popping up in there, and begins to slowly take over the seasonal section until Halloween is no more!
