| Game photos and Our Amazing Hotel Room |

I took a couple of photos at the Nats/Twins game - the first is a bad photo of Twins first baseman Justin Morneau but you can't tell so much if you don't enlarge it, so don't. The other is St. Paul native son and catcher and cutie Joe Mauer. His photo is better because I gave up on the action shots.
 
We've just gotta mention how awesome our hotel room was in Bloomington. Because of our Choice Hotels hook-up (thank you SO SO much, you know who you are!) we got an amazing rate on an expensive suite hotel room. Here's a taste of the decor of the place. The bed was the most comfortable bed I've ever experienced - super pillowy mattress, perfect pillows. You never want to get out of it, I'm serious, no lie (shout-out there to The Chicks there).  The bathroom was very posh and had awesome Bath and Body Works toiletries.  I loved it so much I already have another stay there booked, and the staff was very helpful getting that organized as well. They even have a free shuttle that takes you to the light rail station that takes you many places you'd want to go - airport, downtown Minneapolis, Metrodome, or the shuttle will take you to the Mall of America if you're into that. And picks you up when you call! It also has free wireless internet, free made-to-order hot breakfast, and free parking. One minor quibble: we're sort of sticklers for correct punctuation, and a sign requesting guests turn off lights on their way out had an apostrophe in the word "TVs" where there should not have been one. So Kris removed it. See new and improved sign below.  All in all, way thumbs-up on the accommodations. |

This? Is awesome. Guerrilla editing.
I'm glad your trip was a success and enjoyed reading/living vicariously.
