More fun about Minneapolis

So I never finished all my fun stories about Minneapolis! I was actually really sad to leave Minneapolis, it was a really fun city and there were so many things that I didn't have a chance to do.....like go to the Mall of America!!! There was also a cool sculpture garden that was nearby that I heard was amazing, and many hip restaurants downtown I never ate at!! Not enough time! (However I can't say that about Green Bay....get me outta here!) The one fun touristy thing I did do in Minne was take a picture by the Mary Tyler Moore statue! This statue is outside of the building where Mary throws hat into the air at the end of the opening credits of The Mary Tyler Moore Show. Confession- I used to love watching The Mary Tyler Moore Show on Nick at Nite when I was younger. The building is now a Macy's....so that's kind of boring, but it is a beautiful building, just like I remember it! :) My family also came to see me in Minneapolis! My Mom, Sister, Aunt Michelle and Uncle Steve! It was great seeing familiar faces and having them there for all the excitement of the weekend! My mom and my sister actually got to see the show 3 times; once in dress rehearsal, opening night, plus one show on Saturday! Opening night was actually kind of a weird show- the bus in New York at Christmas lost power mid number and they had to stop the show due to the technical problems. We started up half way through NYAC, but skipped all bus choreography.....it definitely felt strange, but made the show a lot easier because we actually got a chance to breathe!! The bus had random little problems all weekend, but they must have fixed it because it's working seamlessly now. Another great thing about Minneapolis is that it's the Target headquarters, so they had the largest Target I've ever seen right downtown in walking distance to everything. Another confession- I love wasting time in Target and I always leave with stuff I don't need, but it;s okay because it's Target! The last thing I'll always remember about Minne were the AMAZING churros I had (twice) at this trendy Mexican restaurant called Masa. Seriously- if anyone is in the Minneapolis area- go straight to Masa on Nicollet Avenue and order yourselves the churros! The yummiest dessert I've had in a while, they just melted in your mouth...and it came with this bitter chocolate drizzle sauce...YUM! Okay, so that's the wrap up on Minneapolis, and possibly one of most embarrassing blogs I've posted yet! Haha!
It's my last night and Green Bay, tomorrow we head to Milwaukee. 2 cities down, 16 to go! I'll give you all the details about my adventures in Packer country soon.....
Also, I'm having trouble loading pictures....so the ones that go with this posting I'll try to post tomorrow.
