an unexpected detour.

so, when we got to the airport thursday morning, our flight had been delayed two hours, and they had to reschedule us. it worked out that we had to spend the night in minneapolis, which, although was kinda a bummer, ended up being rather fun. we got two hotel rooms and a ton of food for free. oh yeah, and we also got to go to the mall of america.

goodness, it was basically the epicenter of commercial america. four floors of money-spending, entertainment, and material lust. haha. but... it was still super cool! in the center is the nickelodeon universe park, with lots of fun rides and kid stuff. and then all of the stores kinda surround it.and yes, they have all of the necessary stores, including the disney store, urban outfitters,

and forever21. jenna and i just walked around, and in forever we tried on dresses just for the fun of it. it was really a great deal of fun.

oh yeah, and they also had the American Girl store! haha, it was so fun to walk around and see all the dolls that i still have at home under my bed, including felicity& josefina.they even have a doll hair salon here! oh yes, and an ameican girl bistro. the whole store was very pink and bright and happy. i felt like a little girl all over again! i loved this sticker on the pac sun display window. so cute! oh., and here is a six foot tall lego woody, found in lego world.

yes, it was definitely an unexpected detour, but im so glad it happened. i love all of the random adventures in my life. it keeps things interesting! haha.
