We took a short vacation this last weekend. Short meaning amount of time, not distance traveled.
First we headed up to Nebraska to drop the kids off with Grandma. Then at 6am on Friday morning, we headed off to Minneapolis, MN. We arrived in the early afternoon and ventured off to a few establishment, had dinner, went to another bar for some drinks, and then were tucked into bed by 9:30pm. Yes crazy vacation…right? Except we had been up since 4:30am that morning, when Bella woke us up and somehow on a 6 hour car ride neglected to take a nap.
My only regret of the first night was not hopping aboard the biking bar.
Have you seen these things? You sit up at the bar, but pedal as you drink to move around the streets of downtown. It looked fun, but it was cold, I had on high heels, we were tired. Excuses, excuses….we should have just done it (well except I think it was full at the time so we couldn’t have anyways).
But hey, we were actually there for the Saturday activities. Tailgating for the Nebraska/Minnesota game which started at 7am (the tailgating I mean, not the game time).
During the game, Jesse and I headed to the stadium.
But only for a quick picture, then we headed right across the street to a BW3’s to enjoy the game in the comforts of indoors with beers, food, and big screen tv’s.
I would say it was about a half Nebraska/half Minnesota crowd at the bar.
And then the game was a huge disappointment, at least for us Husker fans. We did enjoy Minneapolis, but the 10 hour drive home on Sunday wasn’t too much fun. At least we only had the kids with us for 3 of those hours…as they provided quite a treat. Oliver was crying at one point because he couldn’t see any pink water towers. Yep definitely something to cry about!
