Day 5
Thursday, June 21, 2007
Today was the big trip to the big mall: The Mall of America near Minneapolis, Minnesota. Much like the comparison of the hummingbird nest to the bald eagle nest, such is the Mall of America to Cordova Mall in Pensacola, Fl.
It was a beautiful, slow trip to the mall from the cabin. We drove around the Metrodome when we entered Minneapolis, then on to the mall. The boys were in their heaven. There was an amusement park inside the mall. Tripp and I raced in a simulated NASCAR race or two. Tate visited the Make-a-Bear factory. Both boys rode rides at the amusement park. It was awesome. Pictures here.
That evening we visited with Pete & Apryl. W ate dinner with them and went back to their new house in River Falls, Wis. When we left about 10pm. We never thought that we may not see them again for a long time.
