American Dream, the second-largest mall in North America, spans 3 million square feet.
Jenny Powers visited this mall with her family for a 3-day staycation.
Due to the attractions, Powers ended up walking 20 miles and shopping more than she expected.

Over the years, we've taken our 14-year-old daughter to Disneyworld, the Caribbean, and Europe; yet, our recent trip to the mall turned out to be one of her favorite vacations.
