Michelle Teel (friend from college) came up to MN for a work conference yesterday and we got together for a little sightseeing and dinner. YAY! First stop: Mall of America. Here she is in Lego Land.

For those of you unfamiliar with the Mall of America, it’s a really big mall. It even has an amusement park inside:

We left the mall for a short driving tour of Minneapolis, some lakes, and the surrounding area (due to the fact that I got lost). Then to Ichiban for dinner (Japanese-slice-and-dice-at-the-table restaurant).
