Mall Of America

We decided to go to the Mall of America today. Minneapolis is only about 1 hour and 15 minutes from Rochester and the mall is a little south of Minneapolis. It is HUGE!! There is a large Nickelodeon Adventure amusement park in the middle of the mall. And there are four levels of shops. We walked the entire mall in about 5 hours. I am not kidding, I had Rick in a mall for 5 hours. That was a lot of walking. We ate lunch at Rainforest Cafe. It is so neat. It rains inside and there are huge aquariums with tropical fish. Monkeys and birds hand from the ceiling, although they aren't real. The atmosphere was great, the food was okay. The lego store was fun and Rick really liked it. It was fun and a nice way to enjoy our last day of exploring.

Here are some pictures from the mall.











Tomorrow brings the entire reason we are here. I will fill you in on everything that will happen tomorrow in a little bit. We have to run to the store to get a couple things for Rick. Check back in just a little while.
Back in a bit,
Jaime

Jaime and Rick,

We've been thinking about you and praying that the testing goes well and you get the cancellation you need for the ERCP. Hang in there!
We love you!
