Wonderful Weekend!

I think I have started two drafts for posts on here, but I'm not in a mood to finish either. I'm actually in lazy mode as Jason and I returned from a weekend in the Twin Cities. While we went for an anniversary weekend and to take in a Twins game, I also got to meet my godson, Jackson! OMG, what a good baby. He is so cute already and loves to cuddle. Des and RJ got themselves a cutie! We drove down to the Cities Thursday, leaving Fargo around 1 as we both worked until noon. We stopped in Albertville for a few hours of shopping as I am slowly trying to update my wardrobe into more career looking clothes. I figure I can get away with buying tops right now as I know (hope) I'll need a smaller pant size(s) by January. After that, and being on a good schedule time wise, I managed to get us lost in downtown St. Paul. Funny thing was, we found an awesome little stop that looked over the Mississippi and skyline of St. Paul, and it was right at sunset. So we got a bunch of good pics as well as one of us in front of the skyline that a man offered to take for us. I told Jason I had it planned that way all along. LOL. We got back on track and managed to find our hotel. We splurged a bit and went with a jacuzzi suite, so after an anniversary supper at Applebee's, we ended the evening nicely with a rexlaxing soak in the jacuzzi.

Friday morning we dined on waffles and then headed to pick up Des and Jackson to take Des to her appointment as she can't drive yet. We got there a bit early so I could get a head start on hogging Jackson. After Des's appointment, we dined at The Olive Garden and then took Des and Jackson back home to get in their nap. Jason and I headed to the zoo as I had won free tickets at a MeritCare Fitness night. After the zoo, we battled Minneapolis rush hour traffic (not smart on our part) and headed back to Des and RJ's place for supper. RJ grilled up some excellent chicken, and we capped off the evening with a game of Mexican Train. Well, we didn't finish it, thanks to me being clutzy as usual and losing a domino into the cracks of the patio... It was a great night though and so nice to spend the evening together. Jason and I drove back to our hotel and I somehow ended up with a horrible migraine, which I woke up to eight hours later. Thankfully we didn't have to check out of the hotel until 12.

After checkout, we headed into the Cities for the Twins game, but had three hours to kill. We decided on lunch at The Hard Rock Cafe and then stopped at a few stores on Nicolette Mall. Thankfully I left my migraine at one of the stores for a few hours to enjoy the Twins game. And what a game it was! Jason taught me how to keep score, and the game got really exciting in the 6th inning when the Mariners tied it all up. Unfortunately, some idiot spilled pop all over me in the 7th, so we had to change seats, but I survived. The Twins pulled it out and won 7-6. After the game we got ourselves out of downtown (relatively quickly and easily, why I do better downtown is beyond me) and had supper in Clearwater. It was such a good weekend! So nice to get away, even if it was only for a few days. I still don't want to go back to work tomorrow... or step on my Wii Fit for a workout tonight.
