About our Trip

My photo
Straight out of their graduation robes, Ellen and Nancy are off to explore these glorious United States of America. We are absolutely obsessed with all things America (see interests). In three weeks we plan to drive across the USA and hit up the greatest, most American sites we can find. So, look out America, Lewis and Clark, Jack Kerouac and Barack Obama, because Ellen and Nancy are taking the USA by storm!

Mall of America



WOW! This mall is simply huge. There are no other words to describe it. As you approach this monstrosity, you see two stadium-sized parking lots on both sides of the mall. However, when we pulled into the military compound/mall, we found ourselves a parking spot right in front of the main entrance. After a standoff with a mom van, we snagged the spot, which we later found out was reserved for expecting mothers or parents with small children. We definitely qualify for the latter.

As we entered the mall, our ears were greeted by high pitched screams that were coming from the FULL SIZED amusement park in the center of the mall. We indulged ourselves and went on the Fairly-Odd Parents roller coaster ride. (Side note: we were screaming our heads off while the 6 year-old in the car with us laughed)

After our excursion in the theme park, we stopped in a few shops, found the aquarium and took some pictures in a photo booth.
