Minneapolis - Day Five

I did nothing exciting today. Worked out in the fitness center, and killed time in a few stores. The guys took their examination today. Josh passed, woo!

Oh, and we didn't go to the baseball game (sniff). Oh well, traffic was looking awful and we found out later that beer at the Metrodome is $7.00/cup. Hotdogs are $6.00. Include parking and tickets and we would have been pushing $100. We did get to watch a bit of it at the hotel bar and the Tigers won so we were happy.

We had dinner at the Olive Garden (again), cruised around Edina for a bit, hit the hotel bar and the pool then headed off to bed.

Tomorrow, we head home. But, not before we visit Ax Man Surplus and the Radio City, Inc.

Today I did laundry. That's pretty much it. Oh, and I bought a Nike reflective running vest and a Nalgene knockoff at REI.

We had drinks and munchies at Chili's. Nobody was up for dinner at that point so we bought some beer at a liquor store that smelled like hamsters and headed back to the hotel and ordered pizza.

Tomorrow, Tigers game! Well, I suppose it's technically a Twins game, since we are in Minneapolis, but I'm a Detroit fan so go Tigers!

Minneapolis - Day Three...Or, Oh My Aching Feet

My feet hurt. Still. I was trying to avoid wearing my new running shoes for anything other than running, but I have to do something or I'll end up not leaving the hotel for the rest of the trip.

Anyway, I didn't have too much excitement today. Shuttled the guys to the training center, came back and worked out in the gym for an hour then went shopping for a few hours. I picked the guys up at 5:00 and we headed to downtown Minneapolis to buy some space pens. Traffic was horrendous. After that, we headed North to Rogers, MN and the Cabela's store. Traffic was even worse. After a quick stop at Northern Tool, we spent about an hour in Cabela's. The store is pretty neat, but I was not digging all the dead animal displays. Yuck. We had dinner at the Olive Garden in Maple Grove, MN and headed back to the hotel for a bottle of Two Buck Chuck on the veranda.

Suzanne sent me a note letting me know that my cats are still alive (Hi Suz!), which is good because my web cam died the second we pulled out of the yard and I haven't been able to check up on them.

I have no idea what we're doing tomorrow, but on Friday we're going to the Twins v. Tigers baseball game. That should be a lot of fun.
