Madelon's Trip To The Miami Store Part 5

The Miami store is huge and today we continue to share with you photos from Madelon's amazing trip!

When planing a trip to any American Girl Store in the USA make sure you give yourself at least half the day to explore and just enjoy the experience. The stores in the USA are usually very spacious and full of items you may not see on line.

The hair salon is a favorite of mine. This month they are featuring this style of the month!

It is awe inspiring to see the hairstylists in action!

The doll spa package is fun and such a treat to take your doll for. They clean up your doll, style her hair and make her look her very best and you get to take home some fun items with that service!

I know it may seem like was are dragging out Madelon's Trip from the American Girl Store to Miami but I hope it feels like it in a good way! Madelon has taken so many amazing photos that it is taking me a while to get through all the photos and do the editing. I hope you are continuing to enjoy this feature.
Thank you to Madelon for sending us so many wonderful photos of your trip to share. This store is truly amazing!

One thing that the American Girl Stores do really well is store exclusives, often priced very reasonably and aimed at making your experience more enjoyable. Madelon picked out and had a shirt made for her dolls at one of the stores design a T-shirt areas.

Priced under $20 for a doll shirt that you custom make while you are in store is a fun and memorable in store activity.

You can even watch the process through the little window.

*Last Saturday I featured the Splash Zone suit that was sent to me to review and it was pointed out to me that in the post I had a very rude word typed in place of the word suit in one part of the review. I would like to apologize to peppermintsticks and to you all for this typo. I am sorry that the word was used, and it was not what I had intended to type. Thank you to one of our readers who let me know and as I was out of the country on Saturday I did not get the message until my return Sunday and I fixed it right away.  I love my suit that was send by peppermintsticks and I am deeply sorry if I offended anyone with my mistake.
