We were down by Tampa the other day and stopped in to check out the Premium Outlets. My wife seemed to enjoy the place while I stayed in the car and listened to an audio book. We noticed there was a Costco near there and went and got gas and ended up spending the obligatory hundred bucks in the store (can you even get out of a Costco without dropping a hundred bucks?). We didn't even notice the Shops at Wiregrass but will probably check it out next time.

Maybe it was the time of day but getting out of Costco and onto I-75 was pretty nasty with MUCH backed-up traffic. Once on I-75, it was smooth sailing back to The Villages. We've been going to the Costco over in Altamonte Springs but this felt like a much faster trip back and will probably start going to this Costco in the future. At least, until Costco builds one in The Villages (which I know they may never do)!
