The Entirety of Minnesota Ever

Minnesota! It’s a state in the United States. If you don’t know (which you obviously shouldn’t), I was born up there. For any non-Americans, Minnesota is pretty much just Canada but smaller.

Obviously, we had to get there, so we drove to the nearest airport to us, which also just so happens to be the largest one in the world, the Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport.

From above, most of the midwest is these boring squares. They’re all farms and not fun at ground level.

We rode on Spirit, as it was only a 3 day trip and a one-way flight. We were only there to pick something up and we would drive back a few days after, and it was SO much cheaper than other flights… though, the amount of room I got was… not very much.

Once we did get to Minnesota, we made a quick stop at our hotel, then drove to the best breakfast place ever (trust me)… Perkins! The nice green-white building! If you ever come across one, PLEASE try it!

Next day was pretty interesting. We went to a nearby cat cafe, which, if you know me, was great, because I am a big cat fan.

I love that face.

After that was our first visit to the Mall of America… which is a mall! This was also my first time eating at A&W’s actual restaurant. I ordered a burger, and, surprisingly, it was very flavourful. Enjoyable, 9/10.

Anyway, the rest of the mall was standard. I’d been there before, so there wasn’t quite much to mention, I really try to not put so much personal info here, so I do apologise if this ends up having little to no info. I just don’t quite remember the mall very much.

We proceeded to go to the mall again for the next day. Again, I can’t recall the details much.

The trip itself: very fun and good! I would go again… obviously.

But… there was still another thing.

The drive back. Instead of flying, we had to drive back, as we now had a car. Shipping it would be unreasonably expensive, so the only other option was embarking on a 2-day journey across the entire US. It was boring, and you can pretty much recap every state we crossed with one sentence each.

Iowa: Literally just endless fields of corn, maybe a silo if you’re lucky.

Missouri: The only interesting thing was St. Louis, that's it!

Kentucky: Minor hills. More fields. How do people live up here?

Tennessee: Wow, mountains… and Nashville. No more flatness, finally.
