We Have Landed in Minneapolis!

 Minneapolis, MN

Minnesota don't you know.

Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey

On Saturday we left Bismarck, ND, passed through Fargo, ND, and entered Minnesota for the first time this year.  Our "final" destination is Minneapolis!  We arrived at our new apartment in Minneapolis at around 1:15pm, got our keys, and began unloading our camping gear.  We have a giant list of things to do but most of this will have to wait until Monday, when we get internet (hopefully) and final instructions on how to actually move our stuff in.  Our POD storage unit is waiting just outside the city for us.  We have a rental truck reserved for Tuesday and our POD will be accessible to us at the PODs storage facility for the day.  The plan is to empty the POD, move the stuff into our apartment, and return the truck on Tuesday.  It will be fun seeing our stuff again after 2 years and wondering why we kept so much of it.  Hopefully we can lighten our load a bit for the next move whenever that is (probably next year).

Francis found the sunny spot right away.

Exploring the Area and Our Building

After getting settled a bit, we headed out to a brand new brewery that just opened just steps away from our apartment.  BruHaven Craft House opened last week and it's going to be nice having a dog friendly, solid brewery so close to us.  There are even 2 pinball machines!

It's a large space and there was even live music going on.

We tried 3 of their beers and they were all very good.

We have even had good Mexican food here already.

The Roxy is right around the corner and they have free Movie Nights on Sunday nights.  We will probably take advantage soon.

Our building has its summer holiday tree up already.  We are ready for The 4th of July!

There is an indoor heated pool that we used yesterday.  It's going to be great!

There is also a Sauna, because this is the Scandinavia of the US.

We also went to the roof of our 35 floor building to see the sights. Our apartment is on the 9th floor so the views aren't quite as good but the rent is cheaper.

There is also an indoor dog area that Francis currently HATES!

We have had 1 and a half days of living in a large apartment with just our camping gear.  It's working out pretty well.  We are looking forward to getting our stuff though.  

Camping chairs work great indoors too!

"Table" for two!

We even splurged on an electric kettle.  It's one of the things we figured out we like while on the road.

That's it for today.  Hopefully things going smoothly and we will be settled in a few days.  If you missed, Mermaids in Montana, check it out.
