Minneapolis was a highlight of our trip and we definitely wished that we had more time there. The Mall of America was everything we hoped it would be - an amusement park and all of our favorite shops and restaurants under one very large roof! We gave the kids a spending allowance for the trip and they spent most of it that day - which was fine, because as you will see, once we left Minneapolis, there wasn't much to do.
Jeremy and Isak went to the amusement park while Becca and I went to American Girl. Molly (Becca's doll) got her ears pierced, a new hairstyle and an outfit suitable for the Alaska winter! Isak was able to check a couple more roller coasters off of his "to ride" bucket list.
We left Minneapolis and started toward Bismarck, ND with only one goal in mind - to find some excellent cheese while driving through Wisconsin. Apparently we had too much fun at Mall of America, because by the time we got to Wisconsin, all of the little roadside cheese shops were closed. We took a chance on some aged white cheddar from a convenient store and surprisingly were not disappointed!
