Monday was a pretty cold day, it only got a few degrees above 0 F from 1:00 to 4:00 in the afternoon. Dan and Heather live just a mile from the light rail stop. We started the day by going to the Mall of America.
We stopped by a frozen lake before heading out.
We pushed the button. Nothing happened.
We didn't go to the mall to buy anything*, but rather just to see the spectacle of this monument to American consumerism. It's like seeing a horrible accident on the freeway - you aren't happy that it happened, but you still slow down to take a close look and marvel at how bad the accident was. I like visiting Las Vegas for a similar reason: I don't go to participate but to see the horrible, grand spectacle of it all. It's the largest mall in America in terms of total enclosed floor space. (*Okay, so we didn't buy anything, but Brent did exchange a CD at the Best Buy there).
There was a store dedicated to just beanbags.
There's an amusement park in the middle of the mall.
Adam had fun taking pictures with Obama and McCain.
