If you guys have time to REALLY shop, I highly recommend King of Prussia Mall too. I shop at both Cherry Hill and K of P all the time. K of P is HUGE; it's actually two shopping malls. Sephora, Bloomingdale's, Macy's, Neiman Marcus, Coach, Bare Escentuals, Pottery Barn, Williams Sonoma, etc.
Cherry Hill has great stores, too, and it's not as overwhelming. And my favorite Target is across the street from the Mall.
Maximus, I'm on the fence about the hotel too. I live in Philly, so I'm only about 10 or 15 minutes from the hotel. I haven't decided if I can justify the cost of the hotel when I live so close!!
I'm getting so excited to meet everyone. But I am really curious -- WHEN are you going shopping?
