This afternoon Elizabeth and I just got back from a busy and fun weekend in Minneapolis.  We went up to Mason City Friday after work and then headed up to Minneapolis ealry Saturday morning.  First we went shopping all around Ikea, then to Matt's Bar to try some Jucy Lucy burgers, and then to our ballgame.  The game itself was a blowout, but it was still fun to watch the Twins play well.  After the game we stayed at the Millenium Hotel in downtown and had supper at Buca di Beppo.

Digging into my burger!

The cheese stays hot & gooey.

Saturday was our 11 month wedding anniversary, and it was nice of the Twins to honor us with 11 runs in their win:)
