Mall of America -- Lego Store

There is a huge Lego store in the mall. Here are some interesting things found there:

Prehistoric Creatures

The ISS and Shuttle

And Other Stuff Too

Mall of America -- Baseball Ties

The mall was built on the site of the old Metropolitan Stadium (where the Twins played). This plaque marks the spot where the old home plate. They also kept a stadium seat on the spot where favorite son Harmon Killebrew's longest home (520') run landed. It is really weird seeing this red stadium seat seemingly randomly placed on a wall in a corner of the amusement park in the mall.

Mall Of America

On my way out of town, I went by the famous Mall of America to get some pictures of this fascinating place. I'll be posting these pictures in the next several days.

MofA is a pretty interesting place. You can even get married here!

Yeah, I know, I'm posting a little early...

This is the Prairie Island Nuclear Generation Station south and east of the twin cities. More info about this plant can be found here

I'm back home in Oklahoma on Thursday

In Minnesota for a couple of days. This is at "Fish Lake Regional Park" (as is the next few).

I've been corrected -- these are actually cattails (one of the Typha varieties), not pussywillows. My apologies for misleading you.

Minneapolis is an interesting place...

I'm sitting in my car, talking to Caryn on my lunch break. Now, mind you, this is a pretty urban area in Minneaoplis.

I look up and see a fully grown wild turkey walking in front of my car. By the time I got my camera up and the lens cap off, he was already walking across the field next to the office, but I got this pic.
