Rochester Trip!

Every now and then we take a drive up to Rochester, MN to visit my best friend Melissa. Both of us (Melissa and I) get pretty homesick, so it's really nice that she is only 2 hours away. Even though she is rarely free (she is in her 2nd year residency at Mayo), when she is we jump o the chance to visit.

This weekend Brad and I decided to make a trip of it and get some Christmas shopping done as well in Minneapolis at the Mall of America and surrounding areas. We had a great visit with Melissa and a nice little overnight family trip!

This was taken at 10 pm. Happiest, easiest kid. We're bad parents, for sure.

Not his first time in a hotel.

Of course we had to stop at Cabelas.
