We just completed a stay at home vacation.... Well it was busy! My mom came out for 4 nights. They were all packed. We enjoyed every moment. We ate out pretty much every night. I think the only meals we ate at the house was breakfast... The kids loved seeing grandma. Especially Jacob! He almost started crying as grandma left.
Day 1 we went to our favorite restaurant here in Maple Grove: 3 Squares
Day 2 we visited the Mall of America! I think mom liked it... We didn't end up buying all that much but it is the experience that counts right....
Day 3 we went down town. I got to show everybody around Minneapolis, and we saw the Twins beat the Tigers. This was the first for all of us at a professional baseball game. We loved it! Etsuko is already asking when we can go back to Target Field.
Day 4 we stayed at home for the first part and then for the second part we drove to MSP. I dropped Mom off at the airport at 1pm and recieved a call at about 1:30 saying that her flight got delayed for 5 to 6 hours. We turned around picked her up and went back the the Mall of America and had lunch at the Rain Forest Cafe. It was pretty fun.
All in all, it was a great time! I was really happy that she was able to take a little time away from her busy life and fly out to see us. I know Jessica, Derek, and the kids had to pick up some slack. Thanks!!

Sounds like you had a blast! We all wished you guys could have been here this last weekend for all the festivities. Tell the kids and Etsuko HI.
I will! We miss you guys. We like Minneapolis but we do miss the weekends with the family.
