Wilson's travel North

A few days before school started we decided to pack up the bunch and head north-not sure where we would stop. We ended up in Minnesota and had a great time. It was a quick trip but a nice break from our hectic schedule. We drove by the capital....but didn't go in.

Actually, we didn't go in anywhere except our hotel and the Mall of America for a few hours. Like I said, we wanted to take a beak, so we checked into the hote,l and swam, and slept in, and ate breakfast at the hotel, checked out the mall, and rode a few fun rides while we were there, then headed back to the hotel for more swimming, watching TV, and goofing around. We didn't even get back out for dinner. We had pizza delivered to our room and it was yummy!! Isn't all food that is eaten in a hotel bed while watching a movie on TV?

-no we didn't come home with one-I am mean, I know.

There were sooo many things to look at in there...it is every little girls fantasy, an entire store full of baby dolls, and they are all so pretty.

Lunch at the mall!

Cheesy Smiles!

We also went through the aquarium at the mall. It was awesome! probably my favorite part

This shark was swimming overhead. Sooo cool!

We had a wonderful trip and were all refreshed and ready to start the school year.
