Late Tuesday night Rose and I got back from a trip to the Midwest with my family. I grew up there and haven’t been back in over 12 years so it was really fun to see family, go to a Twins game, and enjoy being on vacation. We all had a lot of fun. Here is a video recap of surprising my grandpa for his 80th birthday. Enjoy.

You can look at some of the pictures from the trip here.
Some of the trip highlights:
- In the Urban Outfitters men’s area, my dad saying, “I think they have some womens clothing mixed in here.” Yeah dad…you aren’t far off there. They call that “style” these days.
- 3 sips into a margarita Rose said …. “I can tell this is making me warm.”
- Grandma: “I was at the health club and some girls were talking about their booties and I didn’t know what they are talking about. Booties go on your feet.”
- The clerk at the general store in Iowa calling a stoplight a “stop-n-go.”
- People in Iowa apparently don’t do water sports. The only thing people did on Lake Okoboji was drive around, anchor up, and then drink.
- The Midwest is full of overweight people. I couldn’t believe it. Judging from the food choices it isn’t a big surprise. The phrase “health food” doesn’t exist there.
After a week away, I’m looking forward to finishing the sovereignty series, starting classes, and then blogging more regularly.
