Mall of America, our biggest mall. Pete, Michelle and I drove over to the Twin Cities to spend the day.


Are they kidding?!? An amusement park INSIDE a mall?!? And rumor has it this mall is about to DOUBLE in size - - - adding, among other things, an entire hotel.


Michelle is a shopper extraordinaire - - - she covered all three floors of the mall in half a day and still had time to ride the roller coaster with Pete!!!


Pete and I spent most of Michelle's shopping time online in a bookstore. I checked e-mails and blogs, Pete played EQ. (How geeky are we?)


We finished up the day eating at Bubba Gump's with my friends Dan and Angie.


Angie, Dan, and I had an "Indiana North Teen Camp Reunion" at Bubba Gump's. We reminisced about "stolen" golf cart rides and midnight snacks.
