Welcome to Minneapolis

Day 1 - Taxi, Check-in, YR

That was fun! A flight from Dallas Texas to Minneapolis MN. The flight had good service, and great company. I cannot complain.

Once we arrived in Minnesota, we grabbed some Chinese food and it was off to the RPT hotel. On the way to the hotel our Taxi overheated (I know, right!) My uncle and father (both of whom have automotive experience) helped our driver, Muhammad, get the temp back down, and we were back on the road in no time. Of course the meter kept running the whole time!

We finally made it to the hotel, where we ran into several delegates and elected officials from Texas. Kathy Haigler, Cathy Adams, Tammie and Keith Nielsen, David Barton, and Dennis Paul, to name a few. Shortly there after we grabbed some free goodies, and it was off to the YR event for Paula and me.

We arrived at Trocadero’s around 10 where we ran into several Houston YRs, Texas YRs, and dozens from around the country. We made quick friends. Took a few good pictures, talked to some press, and headed home to get a good night’s rest before Sunday .

To save time I’m also video blogging. (see above)
