Weekend in Minnesota

Last weekend we drove 7 hours to Rochester, Minnesota to visit Wade's best buddy Tom and his fiance Leslie. Tom and Wade have been friends since grade school, but Tom recently moved to Minnesota for his job. While we lived in Washington Tom and Leslie came out to visit us 4 or 5 times, the first time being Tom's first airplane ride! We drove up with another guy Wade went to grade school with and his wife Lindsey. We got along with them great, and it made the long drive go by much faster. The six of us got along great, and we were sad how quickly the weekend went by. We got to do some shopping at the largest Ikea I have ever seen, and we also hopped over to the Mall of America. They were both amazing and a little overwhelming, so much to see! We had a GREAT dinner Saturday night, and it was so cool to see the town they are living in. But man it was COLD! It was nice to get back and see that tomorrow we will be hitting 70 degrees! Anyway, we loved the weekend and we miss you guys already! And thanks to Wade's parents and Wes and Jill for taking the kids for the weekend, it was so nice to have a break from them, but i couldn't wait to get back! The guys, Wade, Tom and Nathan And the girls...after a few beers...me, Leslie and Lindsey Having fun playing some games.... Mall of America
