Weekend Get-a-Way!

This past weekend we got away and headed to Minneapolis! We had a great family of 3 weekend! We needed it! Things have been very crazy around here. Poor Blair has been swamped with his grad work. He had a few days off from teaching, so he was able to get some school work caught up…we thought it would be the perfect time to get out of town. Blair and I both have good friends from back home that live in the cities, so we thought it would be perfect to catch up with some of them and just have some family time.

We headed out on Friday when I got home from school. We stayed at my friend, Bridget's house on Friday. It was fun to see her house and we just ordered pizza and cheered on ISU.

On Saturday morning, we got up and headed to the Mall of America. Tate rode some rides with Daddy, we went to Lego Land, had lunch, and did a little shopping. Then we headed to our hotel to do some swimming and relaxing that afternoon. That evening some of our friends came to the hotel and we had supper. It was fun to see them. Gabe and Gretchen have Everleigh. She is almost one, and this was the first time we got to see her. Also, Zach and Pia joined us. It's been a long time since we've seen these Creston folk! :)

On Sunday, we went to Ikea and stopped at the Medford outlet mall.

I'm so thankful we had such a nice weekend AND we were home in time to cheer on the Cyclones Sunday evening.

Here are a few pictures from my phone:
