States Side

Michelle and I wanted to take a trip to North Dakota for some shopping, Mexican food and generally just to relax a bit, and so we were planning on making the trip with some friends. Unfortunately we weren't able to go the weekend everyone was planning (March 9-11th) because Michelle is taking a course and it happens to be on Sunday. We thought maybe we could still go and just come home early on Sunday but with the time change happening (make sure to set your clocks) and the fact we have to cross the border, Michelle was just a little bit nervous. So we decided to put those plans on hold. Funny enough, my Mom and Dad were planning to go this weekend and asked if we wanted to meet them down there. As it turns out Michelle didn't have a class this weekend so it worked out perfectly. So we are going to go get some American money and drive to Grand Forks. I was hoping to go to Fargo but I guess I will settle... Coincedently, we are staying at the Settle Inn... (Is that Cheezy) . Honestly, I can't make this stuff up...

So as I was saying we are going to go do some shopping and fill our need for Mexican food. I was thinking that maybe I could also stop by Theif River Falls and check out the Arctic Cat Plant. I wonder if they give tours. I heard that they have a snowmobile trail to the plant and people drive their sleds to work. I wonder if you are allowed to drive a Polaris to work...

So I was hoping people might give me some ideas of good stores to go to, or places to check out while I am States Side.

By the way, for the people that are hitting the states next weekend, pick up a TV Times from the Saturday Free Press, there are a bunch of good coupons for cheaper hotel rates. We are paying 55 Bucks a night.

By the way, I hope they have Krispy Kreme donuts at the gas station, because I am going to clean them out! I might actually make a special trip to Fargo just for those!
