A Mini Vacation

Adam and I each had a week off together in May.  We decided to go to Minneapolis for a couple of days.  We wanted to get away for a moment and we also wanted to pick up a new hiking back pack for Tristan at REI in Bloomington.  

I took these photos at the hotel we happened upon in Bloomington.  Our original plan was to stay at the enormous water park near the Mall of America, but when we arrived, they informed us that the water park was closed.  Instead of staying there we moved on to another hotel and it ended up being very nice.  They had a crib for Tristan, a scaled down version of a water park and we had a balcony overlooking the pool area.

After Tristan went to sleep Adam picked up a bottle of wine from a nearby liquor store and we ordered room service from the restaurant in the hotel.  It ended being a spontaneous and wonderful night. We were able to sit out on the balcony to eat and drink, but we were still able to be close to Tristan in case he woke up. These two pictures are after a bottle of wine and a long day of traveling and shopping.
