Minneapolis and Twins Game

So the Monday after we moved in, we took off for Minneapolis for our annual Twins game trip. We joked that Grace would be so confused because in four nights she slept in three different places. :) We obviously didn't plan that this would be the weekend right after we moved when we bought the tickets, but it just turned out that way. :) Monday afternoon we packed up and headed out after lunch. We arrived in the Cities just in time to check into our hotel and then go get something for dinner. After dinner we headed back to the hotel and just hung out. Tuesday we got up and ate breakfast, then headed to the Mall of America. The kids were really excited to go to Lego Land and we thought they would have fun seeing the mall. We went to a few stores and then headed out around lunch time. After we got some lunch, we headed back to our hotel so the kids could nap. While the kids were napping, my parents arrived and so my mom and I quick snuck out to do a little shopping of our own. :) After the kids got up, we got ready to go meet one of my high school friends for dinner. My parents and our family enjoyed a nice dinner with my friend, Lindsay, whom I have known since kindergarten. Her and her husband live in Minneapolis and it's become a tradition to meet up with and enjoy dinner with them while we are there. After dinner, we said good-bye and then headed back to our hotel to head to bed. On Wednesday we got up, ate breakfast, checked out of the hotel, and then headed to the Target Field for the game. It was a warm day, but we had great seats down close. We had a fun time at the game, but were ready to cool off when it was over. :) After the game, we dropped my parents back at the hotel, and then headed south. We have really enjoyed making this an annual trip!
