Fri 26 Sept

Dad and I are heading to Minneapolis for a little jaunt with a night at the Sofitel. We'll probably go to Ikea to browse, maybe the Mall, for sure some good food. We'll be back Sat afternoon or evening. Michael's is staying at Nick's. Nice to have a little break.

Wow, what a nice time we had. Lunch at Highland Grill was great, and I had a free dessert for my birthday coupon. We shared an apple crostada that was unbelievable! After checking in at Sofitel (with a scenic drive through Minnetonka Parkway neighborhoods en route), we bummed around Ikea. Then we went to the Mall for awhile and had a small margherita wood-fired pizza and peach sangria for a light supper. We returned to the hotel and visited the workout room for about half an hour, then dressed up a little and had a glass of wine in the bar while catching the end of the debate. Back to the room to read and relax in the awesome Sofitel bed.
