Minnesota Trip–the end

Friday, October 9th, 2009

We were so busy for the rest of the trip, that I didn’t get a chance to blog like I would have wanted to. But it was wonderful to be busy because we had so many adventures. We went to the Mall of the Americas and especially enjoyed the American Girl doll store. We also […]

Minnesota Trip–Day Four–Part 2

Tuesday, October 6th, 2009

Today was a day spent closer to home. Nancy and I went to Cabela’s, the store with everything outdoors, and then she took me on a tour of Daybreak Church. John Linde, the pastor there, took us on a tour and showed us the “green” features. It was really amazing. If everyone who is putting […]

Minnesota Trip–Day One

Saturday, October 3rd, 2009

Up early to re-pack and try to fit everything in a carry-on so I don’t have to check my luggage. Caitlan took me to the airport. There was a bit of a delay at the check-in, but then I got to the gate. Trouble was, it was the wrong gate. But they didn’t tell us. […]
