Summer Trip To Minnesota, Part Three

Since Friday was such a hustle-bustle-be-around-a-whole-lotta-people day we decided Saturday would be more laid-back.  

Following that day of leisure it was time to have one last (grand) Embassy Suites breakfast, then pack and leave the Twin Cities for the easy drive to Rochester.  

Many of the churches were wrapping up their services when we arrived at our destination.  First stop was Apache Mall.  I needed a couple of shorts and it's a good time to buy them (clearance!!).  J.C. Penney fits the bill nicely.  

The gals wanted to shop for other things.  Since I shop like a man I found what I needed in 10 minutes flat.  Give the merchandise to the Geofamily women and I headed over to Scheels.  

It never hurts for me to kill time in a sporting goods-outdoor retailer.  Beats being alone with my thoughts in the women's clothing section while the other family members take two forevers trying to decide what to buy.  (Stupid childhood rotten memories.)  

I check out Scheels' inventory of rifles and shotguns and also research ammunition prices.  It's also nice to see .22 ammo out for sale again, even if it is inside a locked cabinet.  

Finally the women are done and it's time for lunch.  Greek food at Nupa! 

For the rest of the afternoon it's more visits to retailers, however today only involves window shopping.  Got some good ideas for upgrading our house's main bathroom at Home Depot.  

Return to the hotel and spend the rest of the evening watching athletes pursue gold, silver and bronze.  We all hit the hay early as there's an early wake-up time in the morning.  Child's first appointment is 7:45.  

Say goodbye to the fun part of our getaway.
