Metrodome pictures

I didn't think this was going to be a great picture, but it's one of my favorites. We were about midway up in the upper deck.
Joe Mauer behind the plate. I had to get the ALDS logo in one of my pictures. Yes, I got to see a post season game! Another check on the bucket list.

Empty seats after the game. My standard joke now is that the Metrodome is no longer home to any world champions. (The Vikings still play there).

This is what we woke up to on Monday morning. And it was still falling until we took off about noon. I got to drive through the city in the snow. Lots of fun. And no, nobody slows down for the weather. Thankfully, it turned to light rain shortly after getting out the sub burbs. After St. Cloud, there wasn't any rain and all the snow everyone got that morning had melted.

We had lots of fun at the game, although it would have been nice if the Twins had won. I will miss that ugly old dome. After the game they dug up home plate and then started on the pitcher's mound. They also took all the bases. And we got to see someone run onto the field in the 9th inning. I don't think I have ever seen that at the dome. We took the transit to the game again, which is the best way to get there and back. It's so nice not having to drive downtown. We stayed in Bloomington, close to the Mall of America. We went to the mall for a short time on Monday. We did a little shopping and had lunch before leaving. Fred had to work Monday night and we missed our brats. I think Grandpa and Grandma had fun with them, but wore them out!
