The last three days I spent in the Twin Cities were the best. My friend Karissa flew in from DC so that we could celebrate our other pal Julie's bachelorette party. Karissa and I had planned the whole thing long distance and we pulled it off. There were no strippers (though we did see a movie about them) and no limos (but we have a Nissan Sentra). We did pedicures and a movie and a sleepover with just the three of us on Friday. On Saturday we tailgated before the St Paul Saints baseball game with ten other friends, a scavenger hunt, and a pinata. We wrapped up the night at a dueling piano bar in downtown Minneapolis. It was a little obnoxious and a lot of fun.
On Sunday I got to spend the night with my good friend Naomi, her husband, and their four cats. We hung out at their house, made some dinner, and went out for a couple of drinks at the neighborhood bar. It reminded me that my favorite visits are the ones that feel kind of normal, when we do nothing out of the ordinary and pick up on conversations that could have ended yesterday.
And Monday I took the Megabus back to Milwaukee to meet up with Brian and our friend Luke, catch a Brewers game, and begin the next phase of the trip.
