My Mother In Law Calls Me Domesticated...: Day Two: Car Day of the Great Adventure

As always, blogging a few days late! Lol I am still going to blog by days so it will be separated! SO here goes:

Day Two: Car Day of the Great Adventure

This day started with continental breakfast at the hotel. Then we got dressed and waited for Tron (that is the guy selling us the car’s nickname, weird I know.) He arrived and we all climbed into the car and rest drove it to the bank to buy it and then to Tron’s house to drop him off. The car was in worse condition than Yis had thought. Tron has owned it about a year and treated it like crap. Everything wrong with it is pretty much from not servicing a car properly so Yis should not have problem fixing them. He was frustrated with the guy for not being honest with us when he knew were flying 2000 miles to get the car! But anyway we bought it and talked about it and decided it was the car he has always wanted and he can truly make it his own. This is a forever car for the Grimes. It’s a car for Yisrael’s to drive and for his little collection! Haha

Here are some pictures of the car:

After some frustrating times getting around the city (so confusing! No signs at all!) We looked for a car wash but couldn’t find one that was under $30!!!!! That’s another thing, the car was completely dirty when we got it. The guy had not even tried to clean it! Craziness. We went to wamart for a cooler and sandwich stuff. We then made sandwiches in the parking lot because that is how the Grimes roll! Then we drove around some more and we finally found Ikea and the Mall of America.

We had never been to Ikea and it was wonderful! I love all of the designs, but the store was so huge and you had to go through the entire store before you could leave.

Travel Tip: I suggest not bringing your children! It’s so long!

Mall of America was awesome! Every time you went up another level you were surprised that was yet another level above that! It had 4 levels in all. With a amusement park in the center of it all! It has 3 roller coasters and tons of rides for kids of all ages. We did not ride anything though!

We did go to the American Girl store, which was like I was walking into my childhood! I was disappointed to see that Kirsten, my favorite, was archived! Yisrael was freaked out by all of the dolls, but he dealt with it while got my fill of my childhood loves! Haha I also had to go to the Dollar Tree in the Mall of America. I love that place!!

We had Panda Express for dinner at the Mall which we had never had! Yummy!

Then we closed the mall down and headed back to the hotel!

(After we got back to the hotel we found that someone had pulled into the parking garage shortly after us in a Uhual and part of the parking garage had collapsed on the vehicle! Just missed it!)
