#40: Take a road trip.

Date Completed: 9/12/2010

Destination Fargo! During our first theme brunch event (#78 on THE LIST), our group decided to celebrate our next birthday with a road trip. I’m not sure any of us even remember how this type of planning came up in casual brunch conversation but it seemed like a novel idea at the time and we are a group that follows though. So, it had been decided and when the time came, we packed up the car on a Friday after work and headed to what I like to call the biggest Minneapolis suburb – Fargo. We had a wonderful weekend, laughing all the way there, spending time with family and new friends, celebrating and laughing some more. My favorite part of the trip (other than the fabulous dinner experience at Hotel Donaldson) was our quote game. We tend to say silly things all the time (at truly random moments which makes it that much more entertaining), so I decided to keep a pen and paper handy to jot down these little gems of wisdom all weekend. Then, on the drive back to the Cities, we pulled out the quotes and reminisced. The pic below is the beautifully renovated Hotel Donaldson dining area. This is a local landmark and well worth the visit - the food was AMAZING. The HoDo bar (a modern style lounge setting) was perfect for our pre-dinner time together.
