4:15 am I hear my cell phone alarm ring.
5:00 am In the car with my mom. On the way to the Atlanta airport.
6:00 am Arrived at airport.
8:05 am Plane departs for Minneapolis, MN.
10:00 am Arrive in Minneapolis and the fuh-reezing cold.
3:00 pm Check into hotel in Little Town, MN.
3:15 pm Visit my Grandfather’s farm, my great-great-grandparents grave, the rock quarry where my grandfather and great uncle played as kids, a Swedish town called Freedhem, the stream my mom ice fished in as a child, saw an inordinate amount of liquor stores and walked through more snow than I’ve ever seen in my life.
6:00 pm Ate dinner at Perkins.
7:00 pm Finally laying on the hotel bed blogging.
Are you believing this? I know, it’s kinda hard to fathom! We booted Oprah for my 30th birthday and have finally decided to do a little birthday gig. We’re tromping around my mom’s hometown for a day, then off to a SPA for a few more days!
I hope I get to blog about our adventures everyday. But if not, I’ll see you Friday!
Oh, and here’s a little pic to prove that I’m telling the truth. (The snow is halfway up my leg!)

hunnicutt – I don’t think you packed the right shoes for that adventure:)
Was this planned?

I was in MN last week. It’s freezing cold and that’s more snow that I think I’ve ever seen.
I hope you enjoy the spa.
Also – I don’t know what part of town I was in, but Pittsburgh Blue was a yummy place to eat!!
