We had a great time in Minnesota. We left Friday about 9am. We dropped the boys off with Jen and headed north. We stopped at the outlet mall in Medford and found a few things. We got into Bloomington about 3:30 and found our hotel. It was VERY nice. Much better then where we stayed in Omaha. After checking in and scoping out the ammenities we headed to St. Paul to the Science Center. That place was awesome! It makes our Science Center in Des Moines look pathetic. The boys loved it. We stayed there till 9 pm when it closed. After making a few wrong turns leaving the center, Will somehow managed to head the right direction and found our hotel again. We went swimming that night and then all layed in our King bed and fell asleep watching TV!
Saturday we ate breakfast at the hotel which was surprisingly nice. We walked over to the Mall of America. WOW~new it was large but didn't expect it to be that large. It is .57 miles around one level and there was 3 1/2 levels. We spent the entire day walking and eating and walking some more. The highlights were the Lego store and Ride Makerz where Tony made his own race car. That was pretty cool. We ate dinner at the Rainforest Cafe. For me, that was the best part of the trip. I think everyone else would agree. We left about 8:30 or so and went home and sat in the jacuzzi and rested our feet! Our room had a mini fridge and microwave so we made popcorn and rented a movie. The only one to make it through the entire movie was Jake!
Sunday we headed back over to the mall and played a round of mini golf at Moose Mountain. That was also really fun. Will won of course. We headed out around 1:30 and started home. We were all so exhasted and full that we drove straight to moms with only 1 restroom break. Brodie and Drew were really excited to see us. I think I was probably a little more excited then they were. They had a lot of fun with Grandma and Grandpa and Jenny.
