Visited the Mall of America (MOA) yesterday. Yep, it’s a huge mall and yes, other malls have many of the same stores, but not all under one roof. We only had three hours to spend before hitting the road again on our cross country drive, so we tried to eye ball as much of MOA as we could. To do this we cruised the first and third levels (totally skipping the second level). We spent the majority of our time in three places: Nordstrom Rack, the Apple Store, and at lunch (Famous Dave’s).

If you are visiting from out-of-town like we were consider booking a hotel stay and allowing yourself a couple of days to do justice to the place.

Wels annually hosts an international youth soccer (football) tournament known as the Upper Austria Cup. The year I participated they had teams from North America, Peru, China, and Europe.

The accommodations were good, people friendly, and a well run event.

The ice cave is closed in winter. When visiting the ice cave wear sturdy shoes and warm clothes, temperatures are below freezing afterall.
