And yet another 1 week, 2 cities whirlwind. This time Minneapolis and Nashua. Time to get all American up in this joint!

First stop...the Mall of America!

Holy heifer! There are all kinds of stuff in here...that no one is doing. Maybe it's because it's like 4:40 on a Tuesday afternoon or maybe it's because, like, American malls stopped, like, being a hang out spots in, like, 1996. This is
sooo 15 years ago.

For the most part, the Mall of America was a big disappointment. Just a lot of stores we see everywhere else. In fact, several stores have multiple locations within the mall...sooo this wasn't much of an adventure. Wwait.....what's this? A Microsoft Store is opening directly across from the Apple Store on Nov 6? Oh SNAP! I almost want to wait until then to see the inevitable throw-down that's going to happen.
Seriously, I'm getting a total
West Side Story vibe. I can see it all now...all manner of dancing and snapping and saying things like 'Cool!' and 'Neat!' and then flashing out flip phones. Then Starlight--a moody and misunderstood free spirit who is uniquely unique but is a slave to trends--meets Wallace--confident in his element, safe within his personal boundaries, and hesitant to tread outside what is deemed comfortable--as their eyes lock mid-kick ball change. Wallace is drawn in by Starlight's many and varied scrunchies and hair ties while Starlight appreciates the crisp lines of his freshly pressed polo shirt. They come from different worlds, and the animosity engulfing this small corner of the Mall of America seems to only fuel the forbidden flame of their love.

We move from the Great White North to the Boston suburb of New Hampshire.

Our time in New England was
way too short. We didn't get time to really do or see anything outside of Dad's meeting. Ugh...I'm so ready for an adventure!

Ok, never mind....I'm all tuckered out. Where are we off to next, Dad?
