This past weekend we packed up the car, boarded the dog, and headed on a road trip to Minneapolis! Our 6th anniversary was Sunday and we took Caleb with us to the Twin Cities for some new scenery and a little shopping.
 |
| Caleb wasn't so sure he wanted to leave Friday morning, as he was really into his cartoons! |
Our first stop was the Mall of America & the Sea Life Aquarium inside. The aquarium boasted a large fish tunnel and we couldn't let Caleb miss two of his favorite things....fish and tunnels!
 |
| We got back to the hotel that first night and Caleb thought he'd hide in the end table! |
The next day we got up early (not by choice) and went to IKEA! IKEA is Trish's absolute favorite store. If you've never been there, it's kind of like a maze that you walk through. We thought it'd be best to put Caleb in the baby back pack so he couldn't reak havoc on foot in the store! It worked out pretty well.
 |
He was passed out by the end of the store!

By chance we found out that our friend Katie was in Minneapolis the same weekend. She's a coach on the South Dakota State women's basketball team. They were playing in the Best Buy Classic on the University of Minnesota campus. We watched their first round game versus Villanova, but unfortunately they lost. They did pick up the consolation game victory the next day though against Washington State!
 |
| On the way to the basketball game we passed the Gopher's football stadium and showed them what we really thought! (Although it was a pretty awesome stadium!) |
 |
| At the game....Go Jacks! |
 |
| Caleb was on the go all day Saturday and trying to keep him seated at the game was a challenge. One trick is to give him Mommy's phone. Here you can see the tuckered out little man fell asleep holding the phone and we took it out of his hands! He literally fell asleep with 3 minutes left in the game! |
 |
| Another highlight for Caleb was the hotel pool. We had to swim both nights we were there and it was like pulling teeth to get him out of the water! |
