There's a Roller Coaster IN THE MALL

The Survival Guide to Traveling Cross Country

Rule #6: “Be Who You Are and Say What You Feel Because Those Who Mind Don't Matter and Those Who Matter Don't Mind.” Keep it as a motto, if you can get rid of dead weight physically and those around you who are a detriment then I suggest doing so.

Rule #7: The United States Postal Office is your friend. Mailing things home is key. I like to keep mementos. Maps, tickets, an empty bottle of spotted cow anything I send them home in the mail that way I don’t have little things to keep track of and it keels my bag light and clutter free.

I spent most of Tuesday on the bike I didn’t arrive into Minneapolis until around 3pm after food and gas breaks. But I did have enough time to check out its biggest attraction.

Minnesota is infamous for the Mall of America, the biggest mall in the United States. I thought that the Carousel Mall in Syracuse was big this place was insane. 520 stores in the mall. The place is so huge some of the stores have a couple locations inside the mall so that people don’t have to walk all the way through it incase people need to get to their store. They have a nice food court as well, technically you should call it a food floor. With the regular Chinese quick stops, Subway, Wendy’s and other fast food spots but they also have a lot of actual restaurants. Some small, some huge, but the one that I loved most was the Rain Forest Café I went to one once when I was younger and it was so much fun. I’ve seen 1000 Holisters, and even more American eagles, Best buys and Sport stores, but one thing that I have never seen was an actual amusement park inside the mall. It’s called Nickelodeon Universe, and is pretty impressive. The rides are short but filled with thrills. The SpongeBob ride has a serious first drop so if you come out here be prepared for it. It was only $20 for unlimited rides. Apparently there is an underwater aquarium that I’m going to have to check out today since I missed it with the rest of Minneapolis. So it’s time to explore it.
