Weekend in Minneapolis

We spent our weekend up in Minneapolis. We started out Friday morning, beating our 10:00 a.m. goal by 45 minutes. We couldn't check in until 3:00, so we headed to the Mall of America, where we showed the boys Lego Land and all the kids enjoyed playing Legos. We walked around what used to be Camp Snoopy with all the rides. I have no idea what they call it now, though they sold out (in my opinion) and everything is Nickelodeon themed. We also enjoyed some Cold Stone ice cream before heading to the hotel. Good stuff, my friends. We had pizza and enjoyed some pool time in the evening. The boys were so excited to go swimming and ride on the glass elevators. They got to push the buttons. I think these were the highlights for them.

Saturday we headed to the Science Museum. They had a special exhibit on pirates, where they had a pirate ship to walk through. It got a bit long for them since there was a lot of reading for the adults. Finn got to touch a gun, which he thought was pretty cool. They talked to a pirate and got to see real treasure. That took a good portion of the day. We spent a couple hours recouping at the hotel before heading to Rudolph's for ribs. There was good food and tons of it.

Sunday morning we went for a quick swim before checkout since we didn't have time on Saturday. We briefly stopped at my sister to see her and her kids before we left town. It was a very exhausting weekend but quite enjoyable. It just wasn't long enough. Ben is ready to go back to Minneapolis.
