Minnesota and Boston

Darren and I got to go to Boston this year with his yearly conference.  So being the resourceful person I am... I found a flight with a lay over in Minnesota so we could stop and spend 2 days with Darrens little sister, and only sister, Ranell... or Aunt Nellie to my kids.  As typical vacation go with Darren and I we get plenty of exercising in.  Our first few hours there we walked around Minneapolis.  Down town area.  Ranell had some music clients she met with so we walked.  But we did get to see her in her element.  It was super fun.  She is a great music therapist.  We saw the Guthrie Theater.  We went to the Mall of America.  Pretty big place.  I was glad I dont like shopping. We had good food.

The next day we rode bikes around several lakes by her house.  lots of fun.  We ended up doing over 20 miles.  Because... because I am married to Darren and we do that kind of stuff for fun on cute little green bikes you rent on the side of the road!  We biked to a waterfall and I ate fish tacos.  I love food so much and it was really hard to force myself to eat something.... every single bite was not great!

Then we left and flew to Boston.  We walked a lot.  The subway is kind of dirty and since we dont mind the exercise we walked ALOT!   like more than ALOT... like a LOT AND A TON!  which was probably good because Savage feeds you well and I ate my share.  And really no mater how big or how nice a hotel is, when 800 Savage employes come to that hotel there are going to be long lines for the elevator.  I was glad we were on the 7th floor and no higher.  (In New York 5 years earlier we were on the 12th floor and we did that up and down lots of times!
