A Week of Nothing

Jesper was off to Seattle on Saturday morning. It looked like the weather was going to be much warmer in Seattle for a few day than in Minneapolis. He had no problems getting off on the plane and I didn't have any problems accompanying him to the gate. Something good has come out of the Larry Craig incident at the MSP airport. No one has any issues with you going with a minor to the gate.
On Sunday, I was off early to go with a group to the Gopher game in Iowa. It is about a 4 hour bus ride from Minneapolis. The weather in Minneapolis was cloudy and gray but that was about it. As soon as we got to Iowa, all that changed. They were having a really nice snow storm. There we cars in the ditch everywhere. It took an extra 2 hours to get to the game. We arrived just in time for tip off. Unfortunately, the Gophers were off to a bad start and the refs were even worse than usual. They didn't bother to call the blatant fouls, such as an Iowas player putting a Gopher in a headlock. They just watched her struggle! Gopher lost by 3 and we had a really long bus ride ahead of us. The storm had increased and I really thought we would be staying in Iowa, but our great bus driver got us back safe and sound. It only took 7 hours! Not bad! I am just glad that Jesper text me that he was enjoying the 60 degree sunshine in Seattle, while I was enjoying the Iowas blizzard!
Hopefully, I can update with pictures when Jesper comes home.
