Things I've Learned: Mall of America is Awesome!

I'm not a mall person. At all. My attempts at shopping in a mall kind of look like this: oh look a pretty dress, step into store, ears start bleeding from loud music, headache takes over, too much to look at, then run far, far away. Call me a grandma, I don't care. Malls and I aren't the best of friends. 

Oh, but the Mall of America... *sigh*
Okay people, there was an aquarium in the mall. An aquarium!! It wasn't a little dinky fish tank either. The Mall of America doesn't mess around!
What could get better than an aquarium in a mall, you ask? An Amusement park!
 
When I turned the corner and saw this man-made garden of Eden, I'm pretty sure my heart stopped. I even got Rion to ride a roller coaster with me. Now I know that doesn't seem like a big deal... but it is. He is all like, I don't like roller coasters. And I'm all like, oh you will. I was right. 
Those awesome statues up there? Yea they're made of legos.
Mall of America- you're okay in my book.

I have always wanted to go there but have never gotten the chance. These photos make me want to adventure up there even more!

You're too funny! You don't like malls you like amusement parks haha. I went to the Mall of America as a kid and I have to say I planned my attack for months, only to be thwarted by unsurfaced love of legos. We pretty much spent the whole day there haha. So many memories

Daaang! I didn't know about the aquarium. I have never been but it is definitely on my to-do list. Maybe I will convince my boyfriend to make the long drive with me this summer. How fun :]
