Thursday Thoughts

The Mall of America in Minneapolis, Minnesota, is one of the biggest shopping centers in the world. It isn't simply a mall like the ones I'm familiar with. It's huge! While visiting granddaughter, we decided to go since we've always heard about it. 

Note to self: Next time wear more comfortable shoes.

What's inside? It has over 500 stores filled with clothes, toys, books, and more. But it isn't simply shopping. It's a good thing because I don't enjoy shopping. I like to know what I need and run inside to buy it. But this one supplied lots of interesting people to watch and things to see. I kept looking up at the beautiful lights hanging from the ceiling. Sadly, my pic doesn't show their beauty. 

If we were younger, we would have enjoyed the huge indoor theme park called Nickelodeon Universe with roller coaster and other rides. 

I didn't get a pic, but there is also the SEA LIFE Aquarium to see sharks, turtles, and colorful fish.

I did find souvenirs in this shop dedicated to Minnesota. I bought Hubs a cup and a hoodie. Of course, I bought myself one, too.

Feeling hungry? The mall has tons of food options, from pizza and burgers to fancy restaurants. You can grab a quick snack or sit down for a big meal. There’s even a giant candy store! Fortunately, we avoided the sweets, but did have a refreshment and good food at Cantina Laredo. Yum!

If you’re in Minneapolis, the Mall of America is a must-see. It’s an adventure, but don't forget comfortable shoes!
