I had read a lot about Potomac Mills online so that was in our To Do List. Potomac Mills is an outlet mall in Woodbridge, Virginia. It is said to be the largest outlet mall in Virginia and features indoor shopping experience with over 200 stores. To view the store directory of Potomac Mills you can visit the website http://www.simon.com/mall/potomac-mills/stores.
Whenever we are in US shopping is always on our list. We had decided to spend the full day at Potomac Mills and for that we had to leave early morning. Saturday mall opens at 10am and I did not want to be late for shopping. It would take somewhere between an hour and half to go by public transport if you have planned it well. We had checked the metro timings along with the Prince William Metro Direct schedule. We took the subway to Franconia-Springfield Station and from there we took the Omni Bus Ride.
To know the bus schedule visit http://prtctransit.org/commuter-bus/schedules/index.php and look for Prince William Metro Direct AM/PM schedule. PRTC was also offering Saturday bus service to address the congestion on I-95 during weekends when the HOV lanes were closed for construction of the I-95/I-395 Express Lanes. Saturday service was free for the three month trial period.

It was raining, but we were not worried about that as the mall had indoor shopping. We reached the mall exactly on time. Our store hopping then began.
If you take the food court exit near Burlington Coat Factory you can walk down to Walmart too. Sears, Forever 21, Bloomingdales, Nordstrom Rack were some of the stores that we visited.

Shopping done; looking forward to visit Washington the next day.
