Tough Cookie

Ellie and I walked completely through all three floors of the Mall of America today in a little over two hours (although in the interests of full revelation, we sat and ate for an hour halfway through the last floor).

On our way to the car, I was sure dragging, but not Ellie. She was running ahead, trying to jump over patterns on the floor. And during the walk, I had to use the public restrooms twice, but not Ellie. She held it until we got home. Why can't I be more like my 4-year-old?

Good news: the Mall has a new Lindt truffle store. They give out a whole truffle as a free sample! It's very close to the Harry and David's store, which gives out a whole piece of candy as a free sample. And THAT is close to the Brookstone store, which lets you sit in their massage chairs to try out a free massage. That's my kind of mall.

Also sounds like a good way to enjoy an air conditioned environment. I go there once or twice a year and power shop because it's all in one place and I am ALONE. Maybe when Seth is four I will introduce him to the mall and all its guilty pleasures!
