Shopping Back to School this season with @tangeroutletsnationalharbor and @dcmombloggers!

We kicked off Maryland’s Tax Free Week from August 9th to the 15th at participating stores to get all the deals for the kiddos and also used the Tanger App for additional discounts from now until August 31st. We love shopping here because we love the outlet prices but they also they have a great outdoor playground located at the back of the shopping center, and its the shade where the boys can let out all their energy. 🛝😆

Highly recommend adding Tanger Outlets National Harbor to your back to school destination ✏️📚🚌📓 Who is going shopping now?!?

Come with me to check out @dullestowncenter for their Tax Free Weekend and Back to School shopping here in Virginia ✨

This was my first time here and I found so many back to school essentials for the kiddos at @childrensplace, I also found some great shoes for the entire family at @dickssportinggoods, a little something for myself at @urban and some great pieces for work at @anntaylor.

I never realized how much they have for kids as well. They have @810dullestowncenter arcade and bowling center, kids toy stores, the mini driving cars, the kid’s train and even Candy World! I’ll totally be back!

Have you taken advantage of the great deals during Tax Free Weekend? Comment below! #DullesTownCenter #ShopDTC #dcinfluencer #vainfluencer #dcmominfluencer taken in Dulles Town Center by @thecarlychic

Hey DMV, there’s a circus in town! 🎟️🎪🍿⏰ We took the kids to their first circus show and they loved it! They sat through the entire show and now this is going one of our annual family traditions. You’ll get to see BMX stunt performers, laser show, acrobats, jugglers and aerialists all under the Big Top tent. It’s a great event to go with family and friends.

📍Dulles Town Center, VA
⏰90 minute show (with 15 minute intermission)
🍿 popcorn, cotton candy, nachos and slushies

If you are looking for a great indoor activity to beat the heat this summer, this is a great experience for all ages. After their Maryland shows, they are headed to Fredericksburg, VA next!!

Share with a friend for your next outing with the kids ✨🎪🎟️
