Last Trip to Minneapolis!



Yesterday, I got back from Minneapolis for the second time. Well, technically the third time. First: Leaving for San Francisco, Second: Coming back from SF. Third: Taking friend Aimee back to airport. Three different hotel rooms in the same hotel in one week. It was tiring.

This last trip I took my nephew, E. E is an awesome boy, just to let you know. He was very patient with Aimee and I as we shopped at The Mall of America. In the middle of the endless shopping hours, we took him to the amusement park in the mall. He and Aimee rode a ride together and then he rode one solo. I was glad that Aimee had somebody to ride on the coasters because rides really aren't who I am! We also played some mini golf while there. Crazy that you can ride rides, and play mini golf! Crazy that we also got to see two movies in the mall. We saw Hancock and The Dark Knight. Both very good movies. I was amazed by Heath Ledger's portrayal of The Joker in the new Batman Movie!

It was fun to have had Aimee here the last week. On the way back from Minnesota, E and I stopped to see my friend Morgan in Menominee. (She and her family are there for a few weeks running a children's theatre.) We got to spend a few hours with their family to eat and just play around. E was so good with their kids. It was so nice to see them and I look forward to seeing them lots as they will be living in Vegas this next year.

Today I have been hanging out with family in Michigan. We tubed today on the rivers that separate Wisconsin from Michigan. It was a blast. I will add pics tomorrow!

Well, I am off to eat pizza and visit with my Dad's extended family. They are awesome people! :)
