Awesome Weekend!!

I had an amazing weekend! It was so laid back and unplanned and just what I needed. I wish it could have gone on forever.

Bree decided not to come (it's like I'm psychic) but it was almost better that way. She would have been tons of fun to have around but with her being sick I think she would have spent the majority of the weekend complaining. So things worked out for the best I think.

We started off by driving to Mankato on Friday night and checking into a hotel downtown. We ate B-Dubbs and did a tiny bit of bar hopping. The first bar we went to had this rapper called Prof. He wasn't very good so we moved on to the next bar where we settled in for a while. I was running a pretty healthy buzz when we headed back to the hotel. The next morning we hit the road for Minneapolis. We couldn't check into our hotel right away so we spent some time at the mall. It isn't my favorite place to go in Minneapolis but it was something to do and I can't help but have an amazing time when I'm with Phil and Adrian. We ate and looked around a bit and then headed back downtown to our hotel. Then, we stared in awe for a bit. All Phil could say once we got inside was that we didn't belong there. This hotel was so nice. When we checked in, they upgraded us to a double corner room with handicap access for free. It was HUGE! We took the time to bask in our surroundings before trying to figure out a plan for the evening. Phil decided that instead of trying to go to the Lion King, he wanted to see You're a Good Man Charlie Brown instead. So we got back on the train and headed to see the show. It was a lot of fun. Its one of my favorite musicals so I was excited. The cast did a great job and we left the theatre in pretty high spirits. We waited for about 30 minutes in the cold for the bus to come but even that was fun. We huddled together for warmth and constantly found something to giggle about. We took a bus back to the train station and then took the train back to our hotel. We ordered pizza and watched Golden Girls for the rest of the night. It was probably the most fun I've had in a long time. When we got up this morning, nobody wanted to leave. We gathered our things and headed back to Mankato to drop Phil off. After another 3 1/2 hour drive, Adrian and I are back home. He went to work and I'm trying to pretend to be interested in the Super Bowl.

Now that one amazing weekend has passed, I'm getting really excited for next weekend. Ashley, Adrian, Jared and I are headed to Wisconsin on Thursday for the ACDA Conference. It is going to be so much fun! We're even thinking about going through Mankato on our way back so we can see Phil again. January and February have been filled with lots of traveling and lots of fun. I can't think of a better way to spend my last semester of college. Hopefully the good times will keep on rolling!
