Minneapolis Trip Album Part I

So, an awesome weekend in Minneapolis with the good old buddies from college, and as always it was another great time. This time celebrated over Halloween weekend to really mix in the crazy. And for added emphasis, Jeremy and Justyne were married recently and we hadn't had the chance to celebrate their wedding! So the whole weekend was dedicated to our happy couple.

Jeremy lives in the "Warehouse District" which is really a pretty cool area, and close enough to the light rail that we basically road the rail all the way in from the airport.

The trip got off to a rough start, as EVERYONE had flight delays because Minneapolis airport decided to do construction on their runways and only had one runway open, so flights were all delayed getting in. Which meant our flight which was supposed to get in at midnight was delayed, the Salt Lake crews flight was delayed at their layover destination in Denver, and the Phoenix friends flight was delayed also. Conveniently, we all arrived almost at the exact same time! Unfortunately it was at 2 AM, but we were all just glad we made it.

Day 1 Consisted primarily of catching up, and the Minneapolis Institute of Art.

The good old college buddies, left to right, Jeremy, Me, Riley and Nick. On the steps of the Minneapolis Institute of Art. A really cool museum which I highly recommend, makes me wonder why I don't visit museums more often! A very nicely put together place with a nice variety of art.

Again, me and Nick on the outside of MIA, posing by the giant lions by the doors we came in.

So of course here I am mocking it.. Couldn't help but think this statue was doing a pretty good Heisman pose.
