Quick visit in June
Hi everyone. I'll be taking my tween kid to Mayo Clinic next month. We will have some time between their last appointment and our flight leaving MSP the next day. Obviously we don't have a ton of time and we're not really in the area for funsies, but I'd like to take them to check out the Mall of America - I'm not sure if the roller coaster is still there, but I rode it when I was about their age when the mall was new, so it will be fun to check it out. I have fond memories of the Twin Cities - growing up, we'd visit my grandparents. Watching what you all endured earlier this year (are enduring still?) really hurt my heart.
Minneapolis is so totally out of the news cycle these days, so I have no idea what things are like there. Will we feel safe? (Fuck ICE, to be clear.) It looks like Mall of America is right by the airport, so I think that given our length of time, we will just hang out in that neck of the woods. If you have any favorite restaurants in the mall or surrounding area, I'd love to hear about them.
My kid and I appreciate any insights you might have. Thanks!
