No working out today.  Yay!  Today was our movie day.  We decided to see Equalizer 2 with Denzel Washington at 1:00 -- that meant we would need to take the shuttle at Noon.  We had some time so we went to Starbucks for coffee and ice tea.  We feel like such hipsters hanging out at Starbucks with the cool kids!  Except that David was pouring over his road atlas while I'm sure the hipsters rely only on their iPhones for directions!


The Mall of America has a very cool theater with recliner seats and an entire "marketplace" from which to pick snacks.  We were surprised to find out it was $5.00 Tuesday so our movie was very cheap.  The snacks on the other hand . . . .  You would not believe what all there was to pick from.  Flavored popcorn, pizza, deli sandwiches, sushi, hamburgers, fries and milkshakes and every kind of candy you can imagine.  PLUS, there is a full bar there!  No, we did not have gin and tonics at the movies!!!  David just had plain old cheddar popcorn but I had the best french fries of my life with queso dip!  That's why I go to the gym.  Seriously, it was a huge portion of fries and they were delicious!  I should have taken pictures.  The movie was excellent!  I don't think Denzel Washington has made a bad movie, has he?  

Walking out of the cinema we spotted the Crayola Experience.  We didn't want to experience it but we did take pictures.








  

















The shuttle drove us back to the hotel and we spent the next little while re-packing and getting ready to leave tomorrow.  We started to get a little hungry but we didn't feel like going out to a restaurant so we walked across the street to Trader Joe's and bought wheat tortillas and chicken salad and egg salad and made wraps for dinner.  The chicken salad was great -- the kind with pecans and cranberries.  David said his egg salad was good too.  Just what we wanted.

Now we are ready for sleep before we drive to Fargo, ND tomorrow.  Sleep tight!
