Monday at the Mall

Natick Mall

One of the biggest things on Nora and Stuey's wish list for the trip out east was a visit to a mall.  I know, I know it sounds horrifying.  But it is also something that Nora and Stuey can not do on Kodiak, or even, for that matter, in Alaska.  So on a beautiful sunny day away we went with Granny Coco to the Natick Mall.  We left the car in the sunshine and walked the final 100 yards into the gigantic, totally enclosed mall. 

Hundreds of shops, long alleys, and people everywhere.  Granny Coco later confided in me that we got off lightly because Nora and Stuey do not know what all the brand name shops represent, and, hence, we did not have to visit them all or have the kids pulling us in all directions. 

So we visited a few shops, bought some shoes and clothes, and went to lunch.  Lunch was the highlight of the trip.  We ate at a sushi shop with a conveyor belt where all the food came by the table and you just grabbed what you wanted.  We let it go around once to get an idea of the variety, and then picked out what we wanted.  The kids were satisfied with California rolls, but I tried some more exotic options.  It was actually pretty good sushi.

After that we went to a movie.  The popcorn and water cost 30 bucks!  That was more than the tickets cost.  But it was all worth it in the end.  It was by far the fanciest movie theater I have ever seen. Patrick

At this sushi restaurant the food came to us on a conveyor belt.  How cool is that?

Guilt free milkshakes - I think both Nora and Granny Coco had smoothies
