What's the fun in having a hotel right next to the Mall of America if you don't go there? And I gotta say--not really sure what the big hype is. Yes, it's a HUGE mall, but being so big, it makes it hard to find certain shops and almost impossible to see everything (unless you want to spend all day walking around there and spending lots of money--neither of which sounds very attractive at the end of your vacation). Plus, there are a lot of people crowding around in there (though I'll admit, I think the crowds at Old Faithful were worse).
But you can't beat an indoor amusement park.
Correction: You can beat an indoor amusement park only when the rides are Nickelodeon themed!
And no, I actually wasn't always the oldest person on the rides--some of them were pretty intense and called to those of us who are still kids at the base of our personalities. This was indeed the coolest part about the Mall of America, and when I have children of my own, we're totally coming back here. Heck, I might even kidnap some of my friends' children once their old enough!
The only thing stranger than a 23 year old going on a bunch of Nickelodeon rides was being the mother of said 23 year old waiting for her "child" at the end of each ride. Strange, but still great fun after all these years. I'd much rather watch you have fun than ride the rides myself!
ReplyDeleteHaha, that is true!
