# 3. Mall of America (10/13/09)

We got married on September 5th 2009 and spent so much time and money on the wedding we didn't get to plan a great big honeymoon. So, we decided to have a mini-moon. We wanted to go somewhere different yet not too far away. Our first idea was Myrtle Beach but we didn't have that much time for vacation so we picked Mall of America. All I can say is WOW. This place was huge! We got a ton of shopping in and went to about 7 different restaurants. I loved the little amusment park inside. Overall it was a great trip and I wouldn't mind going back!



They had a charity walk one of the days we were there, and had a concert in the center. Another day they had a huge baby shower type expo!

MOA has an underground aquarium that we checked out. I couldn't believe I touched the crab!

Ok, so remember how I said they had a cute little amusement park? Well the rides actually scared the crap out of me! We did go on almost all of the rides except this big coaster with a huge drop. I felt dumb since there was a 9 year old that went on it and I would not!

I thought it was super cute the waitress made our ketchup into a smiley face at Johnny Rocket :o)
