My Minnesota Trip- Days 1 & 2

              So I realize that I have taken this long to actually write about my adventures in Minneapolis, Minnesota but been so super busy getting back to a normal routine compare to my busy schedule while down there. Now I got a ton of stuff to catch up on things since I am home now. Now I left around 130 in the afternoon, knowing we were on a strict schedule the day we had to be there for a few hours before as we couldn't miss the flight whatsoever. We got the 5:59 flight and boy let me tell you, it was stressful going through security and customs and I almost wanted to just go back home and stay on my own but don't worry you would of seen me online more often then I was during my time being away down in Minneapolis, Minnesota. So the flight in general, I was nervous at the start but once we got going, things ran very smoothly minus the occasional turbulence other then that, everything was just dandy. We got there earlier then we expected we were there around quarter to 7 central standard time. We got picked up by my cousin Andrea and got us to the hotel to get checked in. We were even surprised with a welcome basket from the family! We indulged in a snack of our treats when we got settled into the room.


          The second day, was one of the most fun I had. I got a tour of the Vikings football stadium and I thought it would be an hour tour at the most but nope it lasted an hour and 45 minutes which was so amazing and yes we got to actually go onto the field and I couldn't believe how the field felt walking on it and what not I got some pictures of the entire tour, now it wasn't much but enough for you guys to get the idea, but on the left is an image of me on the field but the uprights at the end zone which you can see the logos behind me on there. Overall it was a great tour! The rest of the afternoon we sat down and chatted with my cousin to catch up what we have been up to recently and what not, the trip into Minnesota. Mind you this was my first flight in 26 years! We went back to Bunnies by my request obviously and I had a chicken Caesar wrap which is very much healthy along with the coleslaw as a side dish. That is the first 2 days of my trip and look forward to talking about the next 2 days of my trip, Days 3 & 4!

My First Ever Flight Across The Country (Throwback Thursday Story)

                This story took place, years ago, many, many years ago. When I say many, many years ago, I mean 1992, 26 years ago which feels like a very long time and it has been a long time since I have been on a airplane and I will be breaking that long drought as I am heading out to Minnesota towards the end of September for 6 days for a wedding, which I will get into in another blog post later when the time is right to let you guys know what is up for me.  So the reason why I went on the plane in 92' was to see family, my aunt, uncle, my cousin(s).  I remember some of the trip to Calgary with my brother and parents but some of it still is a big fuzz to me at this time. I do remember being sick to my stomach from the flight so that I do remember that part of it. I remember my mom and I being on a Boeing 727, that part I do remember entirely as that is not a big fuzz. 


                 So I do have a few memories going across the country. Another memory is going up on Banff Mountain in Calgary, seeing the mountain goat as well up there and going up via the gondola as well. I remember my aunts place in Calgary very very well and the area they lived in which is incredible I have already remember this much of the trip there. Also I remember the hot air balloons I saw in the sky while in Calgary just down the road where my aunt's house was. Now going back on the 727 wasn't too bad, I wasn't sick or anything, I managed to stay sick free on the way home and I knew the trick to chew some gum while in the air. As an adult now, more then likely I wouldn't get sick now, I would have a smooth flight there and back and I cannot wait to hop on another plane again very soon!
