What to do on your day off...

I had a day free of doctor's appointments and there's not much to do in Minnesota, so Mom and I spent the day in Minneapolis (or maybe St. Paul) at the Mall of America and Ikea.

I didn't buy much since the stores I was interested in are also in Nashville, but it was fun to look. The people watching was especially good and I've picked up a couple of Minnesotan phrases that make Mom laugh every time.

I'd never been to an Ikea before and I have to be honest--I was really disappointed. Neither of us bought anything. I am as far from being a modernist as possible when it comes to home design, so I wasn't surprised that I didn't like the furniture, but there really wasn't a single thing that really tempted me. Oh, well. Been there, done that.

Now that I'm back at the hotel, my legs are killing me. I wish I'd put a pedometer app on my phone to see how far I walked!
