On the first day, we went to the State Fair. It was packed, and we took in al the sights and sampled a variety of fair fair! I even bought a Harris-Walz t-shirt!
We visited with some of Kathleen's old friends and went to a nice farmers' market in Minneapolis the next day followed by a tour of Kathleen's alma mater, Macalester College in St. Paul. We feasted on some decadent cakes and then headed back to her sister's house for some games!
Today, we enjoyed a barbecue with family before heading to the airport.
I was struck most of all by just how nice people are in Minnesota - noticeably nice than in Michigan, which definitely has an edge to it! Minneapolis is also dramatically bigger than Ann Arbor, though that also means big city problems. Nonetheless, this was a trip to remember. Minnesota Nice is the word I would use for it!
