UPDATE - here is what I bought...
I was quite impressed with Ann Taylor for me. I found some great pants and some shoes. For the baby... Janie and Jack would be my undoing if I lived in the US - so cute! I also checked out Pottery Barn Kids and found some nice things, but nothing super special. On the last day I stopped in to Nordstrom Rack and DH was happy that we were short on time and luggage space. I could have spent a lot there, but only bought a diaper bag - they had PPBs on sale, but they were still way too pricey so I bought a knock-off for WAY less and it is really pretty! Target was fun too!
We are going to Dallas for a small vacation and I have been trying to figure out what I would like to pick up that I can't get locally. The good news is that I haven't come up with anything thanks to the much improved local scene - I even found See Kai Run shoes and Kecci Diaper Bags yesterday! I don't need any major baby gear, like strollers or carriers. Is there something I am missing?
What about non-baby items? My GF told me I had to check out Ann Taylor on her behalf and I will probably try to find LE at Sears. I will definitely hit Target. Any other stores I should visit? It will be my birthday when we are there, so I can buy myself a gift as well.
Oh, and I have been busily shipping packages to the relatives we are visiting, so I will be returning with Hanna and the Hanna 2nds from Sierra Trading Post - yay!
