In MN for the week on business and will need to kill some time after work to make the days go by. What y'all got?

There's a duty-free gift shop in the Minneapolis-St.Paul International Airport.

Me neither - that's just all I happen to know about Minn/St-P.......surely if he's gonna be there a week he can find something on his own.

Mall of America is in Minnieapolis. There is a lot of cool stuff in there

Yep!! Take I-35 South to Owatonna and you are there, it's about an hour away I think.

Lake Minnetonka is worth riding around and looking. It's just West of town and has several neat communities around it.
We were there in July. Kids love the indoor amusement park in Mall of America and also the largest indoor water park at the Radison across the street.

Depending on how much time you have to kill, you could ride about an hour east to Chippewa Falls, WI and check out the Jacob Leinenkugel brewery. They give free tours and free beer samples and it is a really nice place. That is one of the most popular beers in that area. Oh yeah, make sure you get some cheese curds. Can't get em in this part of the country but they are the bomb! :wink:

Cabela's in Owatonna for sure. Be sure to check the schedule for the T-Wolves and Twins. Parks are adjacent to one another on the north end of dowtown. I have been up there 3 times in the last 18 months and have yet to do the mall thing...but, bet it's pretty cool.
