Twins, Golden Gophers, and a laundry fiasco


Greetings to you all from the road!
Today we went to the Minnesota Twins game.    The Twins beat- no smoked- the Nationals, 9-3.  We got to see two triples!  Oh, and we saw EVERY elementary-aged child in the twin cities area.


The highlight of the game was getting to see our first baseball game indoors.  The roof at the Metrodome is held up only by air pressure.  Very cool...

Afterwards, we went to the University of Minnesota.  BEAUTIFUL!!!  It's campus spans the Mississippi river.  Most of its buildings are connected by either underground tunnels or by second story skywalks (many of the buildings in downtown Minneapolis are connected by skywalks, too).

That night we needed to do laundry, so we bought some detergent and stuff from Target.  When we got back to the hotel, we found out that this Hampton Inn had NO coin laundry.  After Lou made about thirty minutes of phone calls, she was granted permission to do the laundry at a close Embassy Suites.  More on this in the future...
