The Adventures of DBE and Travtowski: Mall of America Edition

Over the past few days you have probably realized that I haven't made any posts.  This is because I have been hanging out with the one and only DBE!  Things started off slowly due to a lack of any former in-person relationship, but after only a few days of hanging out I can easily call DBE my friend. 

The first 2 days were somewhat uneventful (or that may be my excuse since I forgot to take pix), but yesterday we decided to drive out by the Minneapolis Airport and visit the MALL OF AMERICA!

In all honesty this Mall isn't much different then any other mall in the US. It's just a hell of a lot bigger with 4 floors of shopping, an aquarium and an indoor theme park in the middle.  For two broke bachelors, you might be thinking "Well what on earth did you guys do the whole time?".  Surprisingly we were able to avoid all the bullshit shopping culture and able to make our laps and have a good time.

After getting a quick bite to eat at the food court we started to walk around looking for things that peaked our interests.  One of the first things was an indoor aquarium, which surprising to me, admission was free.  We saw all kinds of oceanic wildlife.  Stingrays, sharks, Octopi, Jellyfish, turtles, gators and all sorts of fishies.  The walk through shark tank had to be the coolest thing.  It made me feel like I was in some undersea laboratory complex going from chamber to chamber. 










After that was the rain-forest room with little poison dart frogs getting it on........ 


.....vicious Piranhas.... 


.....and toothy-grinned gators.





Speaking of toothy.....

After the aquarium DBE and I were trying to decide if we should try to pick up some chicks.  We weren't sure we could do it so we decided to take baby steps and start with girls who wouldn't be able to reject us so harshly ;D


After that we went into a cowboy store and tried to find the best outfits to wrestle the great buffalo of the plains.





Afterwords we became so enamored with the country lifestyle we started to change our vernacular and walked around the mall for half an hour talking like 'them sutheners'.  We got a lot of strange looks from these yankee northerner folks, but we didn't give a darn tootin'.
