The mall was one of the first places we went with Aesop when we wanted to get out of the house because we could do laps there and not freeze to death (it was awfully cold). I anticipate occasionally going there for the AC before we move as well. Have fun!

Could you take the passport photos yourself? I think I read instructions online once on how to do that, but of course it was for adults. Might be easier just to let Sears have at it.
