On a recent trip to Minneapolis I enjoyed my first trip to the Mall of America! Although I have heard of this wonderful place before, I never imagined a mall complete with an amusement park, lego world, and of course hundreds of stores.

Lego world was huge and it was amazing to see the structures that were created.


We enjoyed building and racing cars, plus my childlike husband even made a new friend with similar interests.


Then it was off to the amusement park and indoor rides! I must say that the craziest part was cresting the hill on a roller coster, while looking at the roof beams a few feet away from your head!


We also took time in the cold weather to visit Walker Sculpture Gardens, where art is bigger than life!






We then walked to a nearby bridge that leads to downtown Minneapolis. The bridge is art on it's own, with scrawling poetry along the beams and colors that morph and blend with the sky. This was by far my favorite site on the trip!
