so we checked out of our awesome hotel and said goodbye to everything we loved about it. we hit up this breakfast spot that was in the same mag that we found the mexican joint in. we GPS'd it and we were there quicker than you can say kirby puckett.
the banana granola french toast was fucking amazing.
it being another beautiful day we parked a few blocks away, which was a blessing in disguise because we were able to walk off our heavy breakfast. on the way to the diner this resale/thrift shop caught my eye.
walking back to the car we almost passed it by, but at the last second i pulled jill towards it and decided to check it out. the place was packed wall to wall, floor to ceiling with random items. we must of looked around the place for a good 45 minutes. i found a old school digital watch. 4 bucks. a dwight howard rookie card. 5 bucks. a ron santo plastic cup! one dollar! at this point i was super excited in the goodies i found and was determined to find more.
check out the vinyl i found.
as i was sifting through the random awesomeness, jill found me and said "babe, you're gonna poop your pants when i show you what i found."
i didn't poo my pants but i may have peed a little. for a nerd boy, this is like finding gold. unfortunately we were running out of cash so i could only get one. it took me about 4 seconds to choose the darth vader/boba fett glass. (i've been drinking out of it everyday since)
after collecting 55 bucks worth of treasures we chatted with the old women who were as quirky as the things in their shop.
after hittin up the mall of america one last time and our GPS completely failing on us, our trip was over. we hit up wisconsin dells for some din din and we were home by midnight. overall trip: ten outta ten two thumbs up. go visit mpls. you'll be happy you did.
THE END.
