Lil G is a Yankee Doodle Dandy!

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?

  1. Lil'G,
    I am SO glad you're telling us about your travels again! They made my late homework-filled night!

    And watch out for those crazy shuttlebus drivers. I've never been on one where I felt I was safe... from anything.

  2. NO....your dad just got old in 1996, I love the Mall. And I rode all those rides at one point in my life...actually, it was probably in 1996.

    Love you lil' G (I love big G too:)

  4. sallie, 'Big G' was a guy who worked in the Maple cafeteria at UNT. so if you love him i think you should tell garrett in something other than a blog comment. and no...those are freshly procured fruit snacks. we went through all the 2009 left overs.
