Day of arrival!

We flew out of Indy and arrived in Minneapolis around 1:30 in the afternoon.  We checked our luggage so we had plenty of room to bring home our purchases!  After collecting our bags,  we caught the complimentary shuttle to our hotel,  the Sheraton Bloomington.  There was a large convention at the hotel while we were there but it didn't bother us much ( other than some slow elevators at times! ).  The hotel was great and the beds were awesome.  The hotel has a complimentary shuttle to the Mall of America so that was great. 

We took the 3:00 shuttle over and began exploring the mall.  We didn't really have a game plan yet.  We decided just to get the lay of the land and then really dig in on Saturday.  We ate dinner at Kokomo's Cafe.  It was really good but watch out for the spice in the beans and rice!  After we ate,  we took the 7:30 shuttle back to the hotel to rest up for Saturday!

HI
I am doing a 4 day mother daughter trip in June. Thanks for all the info on food. I wonder if you got to shop all four levels? My daughter is 13, so we will be doing "other stuff", too.

We did get to shop all four levels. Four days would be plenty to see it all including the amusement park. Have a great trip!!

We just took a trip to MOA over the Halloween weekend. wow. We had two younger daughters-6&8 yo with my mom and I. My girls had a great time. We loved Underwater Adventures. We shopped, of course, and swam at our hotel. We stayed at Homewood Suites. very nice.Clean and excellent hot breakfast (complimentary) daily. The coupon booklet at the info center has limited coupons but food coupons are worth it. We also tried the Kocomo-very good jamaican dishes.enjoy!

Very cool, I am graduating from a trade school next year and thought this would be a good mini vacation for me and maybe some friends of mine! Thanks for sharing your trip!

I love this trip! My sister and I are going to go on our 1st annual sisters trip in 2010 and this is where we want to go. Did you have someone plan it for you or did you plan everything yourself
