Minni.....here we come!! Oh, we might be a little late!

Laura and I headed to the airport this afternoon to catch our, what should have been, 554pm flight direct to Minneapolis to visit Melissa. Woohoo!!

We got to the airport, in the FastPark, and through security in a zippy....no problems at all. When I looked up to see what gate we were leaving from, it said 3 (we were at 15, so we were in for a small hike), and that our flight was delayed to 755pm. !!!! Ugh. 2 hour delay!!

So, we decided to go to the gate to scope out the situation a little more. By the time we got down to the end of the terminal at Gate 3....it was delayed to 930pm! !!!!! What???

We tried to get them to invoke the good ole 420 Rule, but there were no other flights for her to even put us on. Oh well....what else to do with 3 hours to kill.....let's head to the bar.

Laura and I sat in Earl Campell's and enjoyed some dirty dogs and tap beer to kill some time. The place shut down at 730 (what is up with that Austin??) and so we were kicked out and ended up wandering back and forth down the terminal until we finally boarded our plane around 9.


My, normal, hotdog...complete with the appropriate fixins.....ketchup, mustard, onions and relish. Yummmmm.


What in the world is up with Laura's choice of toppings??



We made it to Minni right around midnight and Mel was there to pick us up!

Her house is so cute, and cozy, and the weather was so nice when we got home, that we sat on the patio and caught up with each other until almost 3am. She's got lots of fun stuff planned this weekend, and I'm so excited about being here to spend time with Melissa in her new hometown.

Yummy hot doggies. P.S. I think it's rule 240..... not 420.
