MPLS...Again

Followed up on last month's volleyball trip to Indy with a return trip to Minneapolis.

This time we roosted at the fully-kitchened TownePlace Suites in the fabulously gentrified Warehouse District.

Cait's team opened their first round on Friday afternoon, which left Friday morning for a sweet run down by the river.

Well, sweet for me, anyway. For Noreen, not so much. For her it was an unfortunate dust-up with a rocky protuberance that left her with a nasty gash on her knee and a trip to the Hennepin County Medical Center.

A mere six hours or so later, she was stitched up good as new -- or stitched up anyway.

It was unfortunate timing in many respects -- as well as damn painful -- but most unfortunate because she missed seeing Cait's team taking three games to win Pool 16CP32.

The next day's matches were in the morning, which was good, but didn't turn out quite so well -- 1-2 this time.































Later that day left some time for a little sightseeing and picture-taking back down by the Father of Waters.






























And then dinner with the team and the other 'rents at Lyon's Pub on Sixth Street. The fish & chips pretty much sucked, but the beers were good, and that's not nothing.





















Sunday was the unfortunate finale -- but the 4-3 weekend was good enough for a Top 40 Finish (out of 122 teams in their division), which wasn't half bad.
