Minnesota Trip - Day 01

We left Ames around 12 today, I thought if we left around noon Carissa will take a nap in the car on our way there. Guess what?!! Nope.. not even a wink!

Anyway, we got to our Hotel (Holidays Inn Express) thought for the worst since we got it only for $47/night. But it's actually pretty nice, it's not as nice as double tree or mariott, but it's acceptable. It has a free shuttle to the Mall of America. So we took that options and headed there at 5pm.

When we got there Patrick already left :(, only spongebob was there. Carissa got so excited as we walked in to the mall since she saw spongebob pictures everywhere.

Then we saw Dora & Kai-Lan.

After dinner, we got a chance to say bye bye to Spongebob again, and went back to the hotel. Not long after that, Petra & family joined us. Petra and Icha went swimming together, it was a fun day.

Now it's 9:45pm and no sign of this baby will go to bed :(. Lights off I guess.

PS: this hotel give you free apples in their living room, Carissa already ate 3 apples today.

Here's the link to the pictures from today.
