North We Went

Minneapolis, Minnesota

Just when we thought we were over the cold and wouldn’t see snow again, guess what happened…More Snow!! This was after the fact that we almost didn’t get on the plane because there wasn’t enough room for all of us and our luggage.  So, you know what that meant; luggage got left behind.  A total of 41 bags were left behind and shipped to us at a later hour.  So late luggage meant no warm clothes for the cold temperatures we were facing now.  You would think that we have seen enough this tour, but clearly Mother Nature does not feel that way.  Thank goodness there was inside entertainment this city and that we were not outside all the time. 

So, of course, most of our time was spent at the Mall of America, a place I have always wanted to go ever since I saw it on television when I was younger. 

It was almost unreal being there.  The place was huge!  There were four levels of shopping and places to eat along with a roller coaster, a water ride, a merry-go-round, a miniature golf course, a movie theater, Lego Land, and a few things that I am probably forgetting to mention.  For the most part, the stores and places to eat were pretty typical for an average mall though.  

It was still just the fascination of being there and taking it all in, just like the movie Furious 7.  While we all have our varying opinions, I couldn’t wait to see the movie.  Yes, I was one of the ones that had tears running down my cheeks at the end, but you will have to watch it to find out why.

And while this was all fine and dandy on the days off, we had to buckle down quickly for our contract talks concerning the upcoming tour season.  It is approaching quicker than what we think.  We are now down to single digits in terms of how many weeks we have left this tour before we head home for a short time and continue on to Mexico and then the West Coast.

For now though, we have to finish the rest of this season so, see you back in Texas in the sunshine and warm weather!
