I've been off the radar for the last two days. One day and night getting ready to leave...and the traveling. We made it to Minneapolis to spend the night with Pam and Andy's great friends Tom & Jill. Our day was jam packed with fun. We met them at Canterbury Park, where we were invited to be Hormel employees at a private party, to eat, drink and bet on some horse races. Ben placed most of our bets, I should have trusted him more than myself, cuz he actually won money. The camels and ostriches were also racing in between the horses..much added fun for the kids. We left after the 4th race and went to Prior Lake, where Tom and Jill own a pontoon boat. The kid's tubed..I got sunburned on my white skin. The day was great fun. Tacos were made at the Rushin household that evening, drinks were consumed, many laughs were had by all. When all was said and done, I left Tom and Jill's with 8 band-aids on my body that I didn't arrive with. Good times.
Today, being Sunday, was another travel day to get to Alexandria, MN...destination, The Arrowood Resort. We had to go to Ikea first. I enertained my nieces..or I should say, Ben did, while Pam and Andy picked out things for their basement. Every department is set up as a small vignette. We went into a kitchen area...Ben walks in behind the island and announces out loud, "Hi I'm Rachel Ray", he made shoppers laugh. He did something in every department, not unruly, just comical. I think it took us 3hrs before all was said and done. We got back on the road and arrived at the resort around 5. This will be my home for the next 7days. It will be awesome. Day 1 Ben wants to do everything..even though we had just checked in, after bumper to bumper traffic for a majority of the trip. I needed to only decompress and change bandages. Tomorrow, is full of adventure.
