Today when Roe, Alex and I were all awake and ready to go outside (about 1pm or something) we made our way to the Mall of America. There was trouble before we even got there with tons of traffic and we took an alternate route and even managed to find a park fairly quickly. It really is a huge place with half a theme park in the middle of it and just millions of shops. Going in the middle of December might have been a bit of a mistake as it was totally packed and sometimes hard to move through the crowds. We ended up just getting lunch and going to one or two other shops before we'd all had enough and left. Might be worth having a look sometime when it's quieter.
