We had talked about planning a weekend away together and finally made it happen over Memorial Day weekend. We each left home Friday morning and met in Minneapolis, Minnesota. We had such a fun weekend spending time together and catching up. We never seem to be short on conversation, and our hubbies can always chat about farming!

Thursday night we walked around the University of Minnesota campus and ate the best pizza at a restaurant called Punch Pizza.
Friday we grabbed breakfast and headed to the Mall of America. So. Much. Mall. We spent the entire day wandering through the mall and still didn't see it all. We discovered a new favorite store called Alter'd State. The boys were such good sports. They found a wall of brochures to read about Minnesota. 😆 That evening we saw the Guardians of the Galaxy movie, then headed to Old Chicago for supper.
Saturday morning we decided to walk to the Mill City Farmer's Market. We found breakfast, wandered around the ruins of the old mills along the river, then headed back to the hotel. We decided to have lunch at Ikea and spent the rest of the afternoon there before heading to a yummy Mexican restaurant for supper.
Sunday morning we found a great church in downtown Minneapolis called River Valley. After church we walked to the Lyons Pub near our hotel, which happens to be the Husker hangout on football Saturdays. From there we headed to the Minnesota Twins game. The game ended up going 15 innings! We left after the 11th and found supper before heading back to the hotel to dip our feet in the hot tub one more time before saying goodbye and heading home Monday morning. Coincidently, we both pulled off at the same gas station, so we got to say goodbye one more time before going our separate ways.
Overall it was a fantastic weekend with a friend who I don't see nearly enough. Love you, Elise!
