We Built This City. . .

So we had day two which was really the first full day in the cities and we had a blast!! We slept in a bit in the morning because Kyle had to fix his girlfriends car, but that was okay because there wasn't much we wanted to do. When we finally got rolling, we went to a place called Genghis Grill. It was really delicious. It was kind of like HuHot in Sioux Falls. I really enjoyed it, as did everyone else! After that we headed to the Zoo. When we got there we saw that it closed at 4PM and just a hour and a half is nowhere enough time to get through the Minnesota Zoo. We decided to then go to the Mall of America.

I loved the Mall of America. We didn't really do a lot of shopping or anything. We went through Underwater Adventure which is always cool because the animals are so happy and peaceful. We were able to pet starfish and sea anemone. We also watched a bit of Finding Nemo since it was playing as we walked by. After we walked through Underwater Adventure we headed to the Nickelodeon Theme Park. Charles and I went on every roller coaster in the place. He also walked up this path that has like tightroping skills needed. It was intense! I could not do it because I wore flip flops, but it was still fun to watch. After an intense time of rides at the amusement park, Brittany (Kyle's GF) and I decided to go shopping. Next thing we knew 2 hours had passed! We found a lot of cute clothes and a lot of fun things to try on!!

After the mall, everyone was a bit tired so we came back to the apartment and hung out. I showered and got ready and Charles and I headed back to the Casino. We figured we never get to do stuff like that in Sioux Falls and when we actually move here we won't go ever because things like that are really only fun when you're visiting. We played Black Jack again, but didn't do as well. We only lost 30 dollars between the two of us though. Then we played Roulette. That was fun. Charles won $30 dollars there so it was nice. I think in the end we were down $7, but we had fun so that's all that matters.

Once home he started playing video games and I relaxed. It was a great day.

Today we are headed to St. Katherines. I am planning on attending school there next fall so it will be nice to tour the campus! Charles, Kyle and I plan on going back to the mall after the tour so that Charles can go shopping! I'm excited for a fun day ahead. I will upload pictures of everything tomorrow or later tonight!

Enjoy!
