Fun escape from life

Sorry for the crazy post, I am fighting with trying to figure out how to get the pictures in the right alignment. Any help would be appreciated. Yesterday was so much fun, I got to get away with two friends/co-workers and shop at the Mall of America. LaVonne had never been there before and Stacy had not been there for several years. I was really tired but had a blast getting away from everyday life and walking and talking. There is just so much to see at the Mall and it was fun to see it through their eyes. We had lots of laughs and put on many miles together as we explored. We had munched throughout the day and finally stopped for supper at the Rainforest Cafe, had lots of fun looking at the fish and trying to take pictures of them. I love the picture of the puffer fish, I think he is cure. LaVonne tried on a hat from The Pirates of the Caribbean, Stacy made an adorable doll at the Friends 2 BMade store (similar to BuildaBear), and we all hammed it up to the camera. If I could have gotten away with it, I really wanted to make a doll too, for Becca (or so I tell myself), but then I would have had issues with what to do for the boys to keep things fair. We were all really tired by the time we got back to our hotel room, it didn't take too long for us all to fall asleep. Stacy really enjoyed the king size bed. I hope you can get one for yourself soon, Stacy. I slept on a cot, and actually slept really well, I had less aches and pains this morning than I do at home usually. I always feel like a look like a little old woman in the mornings, trying to get my legs and back going. Then today we hit the outlet mall at Medford, on our way home and had pretty good luck spending money there. I also introduced Stacy to Cabelas, sorry Rich, but I found someone else who was overwhelmed by all the camo and stuffed animals. LaVonne helped me find our way back to Rochester after I missed a turn, thanks for the navigating, you did great, LaVonne. Thanks again girls for going with me, I had lots of fun!

Sounds like you guys had a blast. I'm glad you got a chance to have a little get away.
