On The Streets: Weekend in Minnesota

This past weekend has been filled with memorable road trips and fun adventures. One of my boyfriend's friends, J.L. came to visit us from California....Yay, our first visitor! Since my boyfriend's birthday was last week J.L. and I had planned a birthday surprise for him. So we packed our bags and set out on our 5 1/2 hour road trip to Minnesota to meet with him. 

Once we arrived, we called my boyfriend to pick us up. My boyfriend was definitely surprised to see J.L! I could imagine the song "reunited and it feels so go", playing in the background. Then there was more exciting news! My boyfriend told us that he got two pairs of tickets to go to a Minnesota Twins baseball game! I have only been to one major league baseball game in my life which was for the Dodgers two years ago, so I was pretty excited for this! There is something about watching a live baseball game that makes it a special experience. Here are some pictures I took at the game!!

The Minnesota Twins game are held at the Target Center in Minneapolis. It's such a huge stadium! 

Check us out! Hay!!

I loved the energy people had whenever the Chicago Cubs (whom the Twins were playing against) and the Minnesota Twins would hit the ball. My favorite part was watching people on the "Kiss Cam" or big screen dancing and cheering, it was totally great!  At the end of the game, the final score was 2-7 Minnesota Twins winning the game. And did I mention it was fireworks night! It was a great way to end our first night in Minnesota!

Day 2

The second day was even more spectacular because I got to accompany my boyfriend to work an event. The event was called MSRA Back to the Fifties Weekend. From what my boyfriend told me, he said it's a huge event that happens every year filled with classic cars and hot rods. He wasn't kidding when he said it was a huge event, cause when we got there we saw rows and rows of cars starting to line up. The event pretty much covered a good chunk of the Minnesota State Fairgrounds with about 11,995 participants. Crazy right!?

There was so many vendor booths, people dressed up in retro fashion, and of course cars of all shapes and models that I just had to take a whole bunch of pictures!

Spider Mobile!

Happy couple!

Well hello there!

 At the end of the day I felt like I had completed an entire workout from just walking everywhere. There were so many cars to see that I don't think I got to see all of them. Regardless, I was happy that I got to experience it with great company!

On our way back to Omaha, I asked J.L. what he thought about Minnesota. He said he really liked it! Thanks Minnesota for the awesome adventures...until next time!

From LA, With Luv
