MN Vacation: Mall of America

We spent a day at Nickelodeon Universe - the amusement park inside the Mall of America.

MN Vacation: Royals Game

We took the Metro train from our hotel to Target Field downtown to see the Royals play the Twins.

No tailgating here, but the restaurants in the area were packed (and expensive)! 

They had a parade of princesses before the game and Kalia LOVED it! These girls saw her admiring and they asked to have their picture taken with Kalia. She thought it was pretty cool! 

Watching the players warm up. We did get Salvy's attention & he waved at us.

This was Kalia's reaction when they hit a home run off us in the 1st inning. 

Dip-n-Dots make everything better! 

Cheering on Gordon 

We had been trying to get a ball all night. Finally, one of the pitchers gave one to us after the game on their way out of the bullpen 

It was a super late night by the time we rode the train back to our hotel, but totally worth it!

MN Vacation: Science Museum

We visited the Science Museum of Minnesota in St. Paul. There were TONS of things for us to see and do. It was 5 floors of interaction with:

Dinosaurs & Fossils

Experiment Gallery (much like what you see at Science City)

The Human Body

Math Moves

The Mississippi River

Native American Exhibition

Weighing the Evidence

and Sportsology

Touch a T-Rex Tooth!

Dad & Kalia telling us the news

A vibrating chair - what they used in the old days when you were constipated. We thought this was hilarious!

I raced a t-rex...and lost big time!
