Ten Thousand Lakes and I Didn't See One of Them

In honor of Black Friday, here are a few things that make the Mall of America better (weirder?) than your mall.

Morgan and I visited this monument to American consumerism last weekend.

 Beer store.

Bubble tea.

Buddhist monks.

Violent Lego saber-toothed cat death fights.

A Dora ferris wheel.

Fighting stuff.

Horrible looking slipper/clown shoe things.

A history.


One area where the mall didn't differ from any other shopping experience was this . . .

Until they somehow make it entertaining for men to wait on their wives while they try on clothes, I'm not impressed.



So we tried to leave the mall after one day but a snowstorm blocked our way.

No worries. Some folks brought out an old standby for transportation.
