Mall of America

Mark and I had a great time yesterday (Friday) at the Mall of America with his sister and nephew.  They made the trip up from Iowa to spend most of the day with us and stay overnight at the Radisson Blu Hotel that is connected directly to the mall (got great rates using hotwire.com).

Wow - we had a great time!  We haven't seen each other for three years which is hard to believe.  We did a little shopping, had both a color, and a black and white, caricature portrait done, watched Mark's nephew go on numerous rides, ate some good food and even put together a puzzle.  Of course there was good conversation all mixed up in there.  We were so grateful to have the chance to spend some time with them and are already planning for Christmas next year. :-)

Cool lights!

Interesting chairs - very comfy!!!  The fire burning was neat but gave off no heat.

Happy to see each other!

On the way down!

Putting together this 500 piece puzzles was sure a great idea!

What exactly does "being thrilled" mean?
