Mall Of America- Minnesota

In the same trip we spent time at the Mall of America with the Nagle family. In fact, we spent over 6 hours at the Nickolodeon Adventure Park (inside the mall) and never even shopped. My husband doesn't think that is a problem but Amanda and I might have to go back for little shopping.
