The Mall

I'm baaaa-aaack!  Jordan and I really haven't done much worth blogging about so I have been MIA.  We got all of our stuff a week ago so we've been setting up our house and getting settled.  Before our stuff was delivered, we were told that there had been some severe damage to four out of the five crates.  Luckily, everything made it in one piece with just a few pieces of furniture suffering only mild dents and scratches.  I will post before and after pictures once our house is finally set up for your viewing pleasure.

The real reason for this blog post is to talk about the mall.  Jordan and I went with our new friends and close neighbors, Jeff and Katie, to The Optimum mall that just opened ten minutes from our house.  We all piled in to the surf (see prior blog post) as Jordan took to the Turkey roads for the first time.  This brings me to my first pic...

I snapped the picture too late but you can see this guy hanging out of the back of the truck filled to the brim with stuff.  Keep in mind this was taken going down the main drag at a decently high mph.  Unfortunately I wasn't quick enough to take the picture of the two year old riding with his dad on a moped with no helmet or seat restraint.

We walked around the mall which was way bigger than I was expecting.  It was four stories of shoes, clothes, makeup, furniture, and even a bowling alley.  We had a late lunch at the food court which consisted of KFC, McDonalds, Pizza Hut, Sbarro, and....

Can you say RANDOM?!  

The coolest thing about the mall was the view from the foodcourt...

For dessert we had this...

Kiwi and bananas smothered in this...

I forsee this being a regular stop on all of our mall trips!  DELICIOUS!

AND If you're not in the mood for chocolate, you can head to the CORNinCUP kiosk for a treat...

Perhaps we'll hit this up next time!

We had a blast and I can't wait to head back for some serious shopping!

Jordan and I plan to start traveling in the next few weeks so instead of pictures of chocolate fountains and Popeys, we'll hopefully have more entertaining views to share with you!
