Mall of America

The Mall of America is totally insane! It is like a theme park! I literally felt like I was in a movie or Disneyland or something! It was one crazy place to be! I have NEVER been in a place like it!

I really felt like I was in a movie when I was in Minneapolis! Partly because I was in America, partly because I was surrounded by the types of homes you do actually see in movies! A lot of famous films have been shot here such as these beauties.


It was so American it hurt! Even those semi circle banners that are the colours of the flag, you always see in the movies, were out and about. It was such a cool thing to see, so much pride in their country and it made me a little sad, that we don't have the same respect or love for the flag in Australia.

I mean, I think we have national pride, but it's much more low key. I love how the American's are very proud of their country, it's good to have pride.

Anyway, getting back to the Mall of America,


They had a giant Lego shop, and a theme park in the middle of the mall, it really felt like I was in a movie, especially with  all the American accents, it was a dream come true to travel to America.

Yeah,  was glad to see they don't allow guns in the mall, but it did disturb me that that that even had to be said...

These animals were electronic, I wished I'd taken more photos of them, but the restaurant was so overcrowded and people were looking at me and I felt kind of silly. But I think I was just tired and overwhelmed.

It took about fifteen minutes for us to decided if we would eat at Bubba Gump Shrimp or the rainforest place, since we had out daughter with us, we choose the place with electronic animals of course!

This was the first thing you see as you walk into the mall, and we opted not to go in because we had been to a zoo not that long ago, on our family moon and it was expensive and thee were so many other things to see in the mall :) 

This was much more exciting! They even had a mini rollercoaster! 

The above outfits belonged to Prince. Minneapolis was his home town, and we were there during the time just after his death and went to his house to see the memorial placed by fans.
