Our Weekend

This weekend was so much fun! I went to the Mall of America with my mom and sisters, and Narasimha stayed at my parents' house and did major yardwork with my dad and brother and they even caught a hockey game Saturday night. We girls have started going up to MN at the beginning of November to sort-of kick off the holiday shopping season. I think it was originally meant to actually shop for gifts for other people, but we end up more just shopping for ourselves and getting ideas of what to get one another. We stay in a hotel overnight (one with a hot tub) and shop for 2 days in a row. I just can't ever believe how mammoth that place really is - it took us over a day just to do all the stores we wanted to do a first time! So when we got home last night we both slept like rocks because shopping is actually really exhausting, and Narasimha shoveled gravel and carried big rocks all weekend, and it was cold and rainy at least part of the time.
