Interior shot of a small portion of the Dallas Market

As mentioned Earlier, Bobby and I went on a shopping excursion today. It was not an ordinary shopping experience rather a huge eye opening experience into the world of wholesale. An experience only for the retailer owning a store front to enter. My parents added Bobby and me as associates to their business and were granted rights to this awesome market. Waterford, Lenox & Fitz & Floyd, are just 3 examples of the more than 2000 customized showrooms that feature everything from gourmet food to furniture.

I learned today that the Dallas Market is the largest wholesale resource Market in the World, with a total of nearly 7 million square feet and to bring that to perspective for you, it’s three times the size of the Empire State Building. I’m still amazed at what all we experienced as this was a first for both of us. I never knew playing this hard was so much work. Our bodies are completely exhausted but we are still on a high. We look forward to many more shows in the future. It will be a bright and early morning tomorrow as it’s the last day for the show. Our feet will definitely be dragging by the end of the day but our experience will be well worth it.

Goodnight all, and I hope to be back here posting Monday.
