We had<br \/>\ngone there to get Sabrina&#8217;s bench for the garden the other day, but<br \/>\ndidn&#8217;t get to look around much. It&#8217;s a very big mall, with a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.target.com\/\" target=\"new1\">Target<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.christmastreeshops.com\/index.html\" target=\"new1\">Christmas Tree Shops<\/a><br \/>\nin the mall, rather than stand-alone like most places. It&#8217;s pretty nice,<br \/>\nbut nothing great. Lots of stores that we would never shop at, as<br \/>\nusual. Malls aren&#8217;t really good for shopping anymore, unless you are<br \/>\ntrendy and looking for clothes.<\/p>\n<p>We ate at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kahunaville.com\/\" target=\"new1\">Kahunaville<\/a><br \/>\nwhich was entertaining. It&#8217;s themed like a jungle, sorta. There are fake<br \/>\ntrees all over the place and things like that, and every 20 minutes or<br \/>\nso there is a water show with fountains tossing water to music. It was<br \/>\nfun, in a silly sort of way. It&#8217;s similar to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rainforestcafe.com\/RFC\/default.asp\" target=\"new1\">Rainforest Cafe<\/a> or <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bugaboocreeksteakhouse.com\/index.htm\" target=\"new1\">Bugaboo Creek<\/a>.<br \/>\nWe both got sandwiches, which were very good. We also got an appetizer,<br \/>\nwhich was ok, but a little small. They had some very good looking<br \/>\ndesserts in the case up front, but we didn&#8217;t get one. We went to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mrsfields.com\/\" target=\"new1\">Mrs. Fields<\/a><br \/>\na while later and got something for dessert. Sabrina got a cookie, and I<br \/>\ngot a brownie, which were both very good. The drink was huge and a<br \/>\nreally good price, which is a nice change of pace. I hate spending alot<br \/>\nof money for a small drink. <\/p>\n<p>The only other place we really went in the mall was the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lindtusa.com\/\" target=\"new1\">Lindt<\/a><br \/>\nstore. We got a small assortment of different flavored truffles to try.<br \/>\nI didn&#8217;t even know they made some of them, like the mint. I tried that<br \/>\none and it was pretty good. I didn&#8217;t try the others yet. It was almost<br \/>\nworth the trip just for that. It was raining when we decided to leave,<br \/>\nwhich makes the trip a little more difficult. Neither of us really<br \/>\nlikes to drive at night in the rain, but it wasn&#8217;t too bad by the time<br \/>\nwe left. Earlier it had been raining really hard, and could see<br \/>\nlightning through the mall skylights. Once we were on the road a little<br \/>\nways it was hardly raining at all though, so it was fine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We went to Holyoke today, to go to the Holyoke Mall.
