Arrived at Mall of America

We arrived at Mall of America last night.  G loved the roller coasters and rides, we didn't do any shopping because we are planning a 2 nite stay on the way home.  If you have TONS of money and don't know where to spend it, this is the place.  The Rain Forest Cafe was different, we had never eaten at one, but VERY expensive and noisy.  All in all the boy had a great time, the Radison was very nice and we left early Wednesday to drive to the edge of the Badlands.

Thanks Sheryl and Sis, Yellowstone is probably one of the most beautiful places on this earth in my opinion.

Have a good time in Mo. Say hi to the kids.

Wow! You are seeing lots of great things on this trip. We will be to Yellowstone in a couple of days and after seeing pictures of your wildlife tour I definitely want to go on one of those. It looks like you saw lots of animals. Your itinerary shows you will be going to San Francisco. If you get a chance to go to Alcatraz while you are there it is definitely worth it. It was one of the highlights of our trip to San Francisco a couple of years ago. Also, if you happen to be driving anywhere near the Jelly Belly factory that was a really neat tour, too. Take time to relax, too!

Thanks md the tour we took was thru the Days Inn in West Yellowstone. I think it was $65 for an adult. It was all day and definitely worth it.

Thanks for the tip on San Fran
