The second of our twice annual treks back to the homeland landed on Thanksgiving this year, which is a perfect time to be in Minnesota. Though repeatedly warned of the bitter temps, the weather was a balmy 30 degrees most of the time, and we got outside quite a bit.
The airplane ride there was thankfully uneventful, both in terms of traveling with a two year old, and my fear of not being in control in tight spaces 6 miles above the earth. Tory had fun, at least, and only marginally bugged the dude trying to sleep in front of us.
Quick synopsis of the rest of the trip: Hung with the Moe’s; Grandma Ogie came down from Mondovie; Visited with my old partner Chris; Met other clients for lunch in St Paul; Went to Marcus and Jacob’s hockey game; They won; Thanksgiving day at Tracy and Terry’s; Visited with the Hoffman’s at Sarah and Jeff’s new house; Visited Sarah’s new studio in Minneapolis; Pizza with the Landgren’s at Bill and Trudy’s house; Stayed overnight in Sarah and Jeff’s new house; Bridget and Tim visit us at the Moe’s house; We play cards until 2 am; Kari win’s at poker; Watched Marcus and Jacob play second hockey game; Chris Woolery came up to watch the game too; They won, taking the tourney championship; Chilled out Monday at Tracy’s house; Flew home;
