The male crew members had been dying to go swimming. At 9:30 a.m., I took them swimming for 30 minutes. The downside to this hotel, no free breakfast. I did an unusual thing, I ordered room service. Our mouths watered over Avocado Brioche Benedict, FireLake Walleye Hash, Blueberry Blitz and Greek Yogurt & Housemade Granola Parfait. With the $74 breakfast, our stay was still cheaper than Days Inn. We packed the van and walked across the street to Mall of America. This mall housed 250 stores. There was a Nickelodeon amusement park with bright and colorful roller coasters, swings, a Dora Ferris Wheel. The crew split up and I visited the Nickelodeon with the male crew members. I met SpongeBob and he did not appreciate my advice about updating his wardrobe. It was comedy. The female crew was in Forever 21. I bought a belt for $3 (that was all I could afford at this point, lol). We ate, walked around for 30 minutes and departed the Mall of America at 3:40 p.m. I would have liked to have stayed longer, but the geriatric crew I was with was tired of walking. At 8:30 p.m., we were in Sioux Falls, SD. We stayed at our favorite hotel, Holiday Inn Express. Little did we know, it would be our last decent hotel. I washed our uniforms again. Then I got lost looking for the grocery store. Eventually, I found Target and bought microwave dinners and more snacks. For the second time that day, Jon and Matthew went swimming at the indoor pool from 10-11. Katrina joined them and regretted it later. They showered, ate and everyone went to bed.
