The Northern Loop :)

Well, vacation has been great so far :-)  We started on Wednesday, and drove up to Kansas City, then we stopped in Clear Lake, Iowa and saw the "Surf Ballroom" where Buddy Holly played his last concert. Then we drove to Minneapolis and stayed there for three days! We got a really nice hotel room and there was a big Indian wedding going on that weekend, so there were SO many beautiful Indian families there in their traditional, (VERY COLORFUL) dress! <3 <3 Yep, it was a GREAT city, and there were so many different nationalities that it didn't even feel like I was in America! ... Emily, Katie and I saw 'Pink Martini' in concert, and than  we all went to the 'Mall Of America' and it was *amazing*, there were three floors of awesomeness, a theme park and a very large sea aquarium!  Emily and I both got matching dresses!    ...After we left Minneapolis we went to see the head-waters of the Mississippi River! ..that was really neat... and today we played on the shore of Lake Superior! Right now I'm sitting in our hotel room in 'Sault Ste. Marie' Michigan (which across the river from Canada)  :D :D ... Well, my life has been busy and exciting! ... but I REALLY miss you, Rachel! ;) I wish you were here!
