On to the land of gigantism

May 11, 2012

378.2 miles, 15.873 gallons, 23.8 mpg, $57.76.

So, why are we headed to the land of gigantism now? We did just go to the Mall of America…

With all of the stores from all of he malls I have ever been to in my life, plus an amusement park (log ride! Ferris wheel! rollercoaster!), a mini golf course, three story robot Lego construction (form of a robot, sadly not actually robotic), and a theater. And a dozen restaurants, all horrifically generic. Oh, and three large mall-tastic food courts. And a Peeps store. It was gigantic but the theme is less gigantism and more a national cathedral to the national past time (shopping).

But, as we head to North Dakota, the tour books say we’ll see very large animals along the roadway and at our stops: worlds largest buffalo, worlds largest heron, biggest cow ever.

I’ll send pic. But here is the gas one, boring as it is.
