Minnesohta

This past weekend I took a road trip with my two good friends from high school, Liz and Erin, to visit our friend Allie. Allie goes to St. Thomas in St. Paul and is staying there this summer.
We left Friday at 3:45 and arrived there at about 9 ish. On the way there a few funny things that happened were:
- Liz going through a red light cause she thought the sign "stop ahead" meant "stop then go ahead".
- Erin not seeing the huge lite up "Subway" sign on the only building in sight "Where is the subway? where?"
- We got a little lost.... the road signs were really funny though (ex: Fynn)
- Chubby's Gentalmens Club
When we got there Allie had preordered pizza, so we unpacked and walked the two blocks to go pick it up from Davanti's. (something like that) . I was super good, we spent the rest of the time just eating, talking, catching up, and watching 27 Dresses.
On Saturday we woke up to Allie already back from her 12 mile run (holy moly!). We ate breakfast and went for a long walk around St. Paul, we went to the library and we toured the St. Thomas campus. It was fun, we took a lot of cool pictures. We got back and ate lunch, after which we went shopping. Liz got a cute dress for $98 and Erin got a scarf and shoes. We then found a little church for mass at 4:30. It was full of bluehairs all over the place! Then we went back and started getting ready for dinner. We all got dressed up cute and went out with Allie's two roommates to Bonfire. The waiter was really cute and I told Allie to put her number down on the tip line but she wouldn't do it. We then stopped at the cafe attached to the restaurant and bought cheesecake. I got cookies and cream. When we got back we all changed, and started to play an intense game of spoons. Allies two roommates ended up winning. It was a lot of fun and her roommates were super nice.
Sunday we got up at 7 am and were on the road by 8 am. It was a good trip, a really fun time. I really liked St. Paul and can see myself living there someday. I hope to visit Allie again soon, maybe next time we can go to the Mall of America!
