Crystle with Woody made of Legos
Although Mike likes to shop more than most women, we did in fact find a his and her attraction in the Twin Cities. Mall of America was a must for me but, little did I know Mike was just as intrigued! I mean who wouldn’t be with roller coasters, Lego Land, golf course, aquarium and endless places to eat – all under one roof! We spent a couple of hours walking around, trying our best not to get lost amidst the Gaps, Apple Store and the Windows Store (yes, there was a Microsoft Windows Store and it looked remarkably similar to the Apple Store). One of the coolest things we saw was a giant robot made entirely out of Legos that would take one man, working 40 hour weeks, 7 years to complete!
Amusement Park Inside the Mall of America
The other half of the his and her attraction was a Minnesota Twins game. We had incredible seats, courtesy of Uncle Jim, at the new Target Field. One of the coolest features of the new park is that the entrance to the ballpark literally blends the street, entrance, right field stands into one – people walking right outside of the ballpark could catch a home run ball! We found Minneapolis to be a very friendly city and it’s obvious that they wanted passerby to feel like a part of the game. The Twins lost the game – that’s 2 out of 2 games that the home team lost. We’re starting to think that the Vagabonds bring bad luck to the home team. Let’s hope this holds true in Seattle as the Mariners take on the Yankees!
‘til next time… The Vagabonds
Wonderful meeting you two over a liter and a few bits of snuff. Have a wonderful journey and feel free to email me directly so I can send you the video we have of happy trails and the final ziggy zaggy (sp?) we did for you.
Seeing that you have family here maybe we can organize another event if you guys visit in the future!
Cheers,
Marc -the snuff guy.
Hey Marc, great we had a great time hanging out with you guys. We would love to keep in touch and do it again when we come back. If you ever come to NY let us know. I don’t have your email so drop me a line at Mike.Crystle@gmail.com and we will hit you up. We would really like to post that video.
Need to get to that mall. Sounds more like a vacation resort than a shopping center. I love how you’ve worked all the baseball games into your trip. A tour of America wouldn’t be complete without a little baseball.
I’m so glad you too love birds are having a great trip. Do some sight seeing for me!
It looks like you had a great time in my home state of MN – go Twins!
