I didn't take a whole lot of photos on our vacation. I took some of the girls before hubby and I left for the weekend, but not so much after! ;)

Hubby and I went out for a couple hours of shopping

THURSDAY
our friend Matthew and Izzy came from Rochester to see us! Hubby and Matthew went and played golf, so Izzy the girls and I played at Nana and Bapa's house!

Across the street from Ikea was.....


Hubby and I spent the rest of the day at the Mall. We had a lot of fun shopping, and LOVED this store....

The American Girl store was soooo neat! Expensive, but neat! We took some video of it to show Avery, and she wants to go back there FOR SURE!!! We decided we'll have to take the girls back sometime this summer because they would LOVE Nickelodeon Play Land too!



We went to the Nascar store where hubby did some driving thing, we had an aqua massage, ate Chipolte, and visited countless stores.....like this one...


We were tired by the end of the day, and crashed back at the hotel. Had a great nights sleep, and then woke up for day #2 in Mpls!

SATURDAY
We met a new Pastor friend at Maria's Cafe in the downtown area. It was a happening place. There was a Spanish singer, and I had to laugh when someone requested for him to sing "Ring of Fire"... I giggled as he sang...he was good, but just something wasn't right about a Spanish speaking man singing a Johnny Cash song....


Hubby and I drove around Mpls, went past the new Twins Stadium, and saw lots of interesting people and places around the downtown area.

We went back to the hotel for a little rest, and then off to Saturday night service at John Piper's church...


It was "glorious" as my hubby would say. It was a wonderful service, and we were so grateful to have been able to have been there.

After Church we hit up Red Lobster, and then crashed again....long day!

SUNDAY
We slept in, checked out of the hotel, and then met up with my college roommate Andrea, her hubby Brian, and her sweet baby Ella for lunch at Granite City. The hours passed way to quickly, but it was so great to see them all and catch up.

After lunch, we headed back to Wisconsin to re-unite with our girls! The reunion was great, we felt re-freshed and ready to jump back into the parenting thing...

And, yesterday, MONDAY, we drove home for what seemed like all day long....

Happy to be home, sad to have left Wisconsin, but we are happy none the less....

oh, and tomorrow, I turn 30...yah, crazy, huh?
