Who knew you could have fun in MSP?!?!?!

In 2002 I vowed never to return to Minneapolis; well, specifically Blaine, MN. In the last 9 years, I've been back at least 9 times (all for rugby). I've lost count.

MORAL OF THE STORY: Do not make a vow that you have absolutely no control over keeping.

But this time, I'm back in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area for a wedding and to visit my good friend JS. This time I was excited to come back. And this time I'm actually having fun! And there's way more to come!!!

So far I've participated in some fun workouts (I'm still sore from the Thursday Prowler pushing/pulling)...




Shopped at the Mall of America (obviously this is a must)...

Gone to the beach (yes, MSP has beaches!!!)...


And eaten some delicious food, albeit in the basement because the tornado sirens went off (I guess it wouldn't be the midwest without a severe storm!).

(I had to take the essentials...)
