We spent 4 nights and 5 days exploring the multi-level Mall of America in Bloomington, Minn and enjoyed a day at an indoor Water Park. What a wonderful, relaxing and refreshing time with these great kids. Jessica even knocked out her SPRING/Summer 2014 wardrobe and we got AMAZING STEALS on her clothes.

For the past 15 years I've been meeting with this group of gals every month! I've enjoyed the friendships with them and the time spent discussing various books and book topics.

Our day was spent touring the Kansas City Missouri Public Library. It is a very old building that has been renovated in the past 10 years. The day was a warm and delightful day!
