Day 10 - July 6, 2013 Not much to write about today, we drove. Our longest driving day this trip! Over 830 miles! We sadly said goodbye to mom in St. Louis at about 5:15 am. We headed north. We drove, and drove, and drove some more. We made a few Geocaching stops, but other than that we just drove. We made it to the Mall of America in Bloomington, just outside Minneapolis, in time for a late lunch. We had no idea what we were in for. They have a huge amusement park in the center court of the mall. There is a roller coaster and about 20 other rides. They have an aquarium, a LEGOLAND area, and several movie theaters.

It was a little drizzly & I had my umbrella up, but people were everywhere. Not seeing very well in the middle of a square, I ended up tripping over some little old lady's shopping cart she was dragging behind her. Some stranger helped me up & I just ... read more

Geo: 38.6276, -90.199With thoughts of Willie Nelson in my head, we begin our little blog today. This is more of a test than anything ~ to see if everyone gets an email about this blog or an I-don't-know-what...but something is supposed to show-up in your email inbox. We'll see. All I know is Travelpod rocks. I've been addicted to it for about a year now but this is the first time I'll actually write as we travel... if we get Internet access occasionally, that is.So, what happened today? I worked until noon. It went quicker than I had anticipated. I had all the bags packed yesterday so I went home, did the last-minute house things, and then we showered Scaredy and Simon with lots of kisses and happy "We'll be backs!" I figure if I leave ... read more
