Photo Week, Day 4 of 7: Minnesota

Jerry and I are going on vacation for a week (well, I say "vacation", but we're really just taking care of my sister's dogs at her house in Rockford, Illinois. This will be the longest we've been away since 2014 when we took a family vacation to Punta Cana!

To truly take a break from reality, I'm going to do something a little different this week. I've had a daily post streak going since January 1, 2020, and I really don't want to break that! So, I thought it might be fun to do a travel theme for each day and share some pictures from different trips I've been on. Each day will have a theme based on the location of the trip.

I'm preparing these posts ahead of time so I won't have to even open my computer while I'm gone. (I can still approve comments from my phone, though.) And hopefully when I get home, I'll have some good stuff to share :) 

These photos from from 2-3 trips to Minnesota when my brother lived in St. Paul. In no particular order...


Brian took us in a NorthWest (Delta) flight simulator used for training

When Brian "flew" it I was TERRIFIED, even though I knew it wasn't a real plane. I literally had a panic attack.







Brian made a can crusher for Noah to crush all the pop/beer cans



At the Mall of America

Build-A-Bear for Noah's birthday

I'm amazed I fit inside of that!


At the zoo

Brian's dog Rocky


Brian treated us to a Twins game


A walk along the Mississippi River

A ride at the Mall of America

Flying on the Breezy (I wrote about this on Thursday)


While the boys didn't ride the Breezy, Steve took them in a different plane--it was their first time in an airplane.

My first Ragnar Relay--I filled in for someone on Brian's team who backed out


I have a full page of travel adventures--way too many to list this week--and they can be found here.

I used to publish ALL comments (even the mean ones) but I recently chose not to publish those. I always welcome constructive comments/criticism, but there is no need for unnecessary rudeness/hate. But please--I love reading what you have to say! (This comment form is super finicky, so I apologize if you're unable to comment)
