pleeease always wear your seatbelts...

my christmas break activities::

- Mall of America.
Minneapolis, Minnesota. Considering it had four floors and over 500 stores, I thought it was kind of disappointing; The fact that they have 3 Victoria Secrets and 2 Fossils and 3 or 4 of multiple other stores doesnt help. Mostly novelty stores like sports gear, M&Ms, Barbie, Mall of America gear, etc. Plus a Nordstrom, Sears, Macy's and Bloomingdales.The only good stores that I had any interest in were American Apparel and an amaaazing shoe store. The center of the mall is the 'Nickelodeon Universe' with all the rides and attractions. [The roller coasters aren't too bad either, despite the fact that they were made for 6 year olds. Theres three roller coasters, a swinging hammerhead thing that had 30 ppl on at once, a water log ride, and a huge agility course.

-Snowmobiling for the first time
Soooooooo much fun. After two days at the mall of america, we drove more north to Isle, MN, where we got a cabin for two days and snowmobiles for 8 hours. The speedometer said they could go up to 120mph, but we raced a lot and none of us (me + 3 ppl) could get them past 65. my dad and i fell off about 10 times between the two of us, going too fast on turns.

-My first car accident
Not so much fun. Icey freeway, 65 mph, semi-trucks everywhere, bridge over a river. The car turned and faced oncoming traffic (a semi and some other cars) from the direction we were just driving from, and a second later we flipped once on the driver's side (my brother was driving) down the embankment and the back winshield shattered.... HATED it.
PS, if i wasnt wearing a seatbelt, i wouldve probably broken my neck or worse, so always wear your seatbelts. please.

What an adventure. And you are right, very scary stuff.
