Project 365 Day 338: Holiday Browsing

After the ISU Men's Basketball game today (another close loss, 76-73, to California) we drove down to Des Moines to do some more holiday shopping and browsing. We completed our shopping expedition at the Half-Price Bookstore and then proceeded to Jordan Creek Town Center to walk around the mall and gaze at decorations, sales, and people.

The Jordan Creek mall has one of the rowdiest kid play areas of any mall I have seen. It's as if you took the huge (for a mall) amusement park in the middle of the Mall of America in Minneapolis and put all the children occupying that space into an area of roughly 1000 square feet. Throw in a few slides, climbing things, and crawling spaces, and look out! If you ever need to know which direction you're heading in Jordan Creek, just listen for the shrieking voices of children; that's East.
