Hello, Minneapolis. Eight hours after leaving Chicago, we arrive in the twin cities. Our car hits 1000 miles. No tickets today.


The Mall of America - the largest enclosed retail space in North America. Barry and Dave are checking their wallets for proper forms of payment. Don't try to magnify the picture and steal Dave's credit card number.

Dave and Barry with our Minneapolis hosts Dave and Laura outside the Metrodome. That's two Dave's besides our Dave we've hung out with so far.


Inside the dome where the homestanding Twins drop one to the Boston Red Sox, 4-0. Our ratings for the concessions at the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome (on scale of 10):

Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream in Waffle Cone: 9.76
Root Beer Float: 8.5
Donuts: NR (didn't eat 'em, but had to mention it because we've never seen a vendor yelling 'Donuts. Get your donuts here.')

Minneapolis skyline. Bye Bye Minnesota. Thanks to Dave and Laura.
