We had the most fun with the entire Connelly family in Minneapolis for a quick weekend. In the past we have done longer getaways to Northern Minnesota but because of schedules and family dynamics, that was getting to be a challenge, so my parents opted for a shorter version in order to catch more people, and it worked!
We arrived on Friday evening and met the group for a happy hour before an adult only family dinner to celebrate Shelley’s upcoming 50th and my dad’s upcoming 83rd. The kids hung and took care of each other. It was really fun to have the time and space to connect with everyone, although I had a hard time shutting it down at the end of the evening and was slow moving the following morning.
We spent Saturday morning touring Sunny Acres and then went for lunch and a swim at Minnekhada while the guys golfed a terribly difficult 14 holes (Dave proudly reported a 72 after the first 9, even with a caddy, a first time experience for him;)). We followed up the fun with a patio party at my aunt Patty’s in downtown Minneapolis and then the Twins game. It was all so fun, the kids had a blast spending time with their cousins and watching the Twins clobber the Diamond Backs. There were so many home runs/firecrackers, the kids were blown away. We finished with a quick nightcap at the hotel bar and called it good.
We were thankful for a great weekend and the time spent with each other.
