Target Field, Minneapolis, MN – Home of the Twins

Target Field - Outside

In August of this year Gene and I had a wonderful time on a Mid-West Adventure through IA, MN and NE. While in the Minneapolis we were  loking forward to visiting  the home stadium of the Minnesota Twins, Target Field. I was extremely excited to visit the stadium which was my 22nd MLB park. It was very unique and different than some of the other parks we had visited. However, it was a great park and our tour guide was amazing!  He was so connected to the some many aspects of MLB and had some wonderful stories. Love when we get a tour guide who loves his job!  With that said, I will share some information about the Twins and Target Field. Continue reading “Target Field, Minneapolis, MN – Home of the Twins”

Mid-West Adventure through IA, MN and NE – August 2023

Mid-West Adventure 1

Last month Gene got some unexpected time off (expiring vacation days) and we decided to do a Mid-West adventure through IA, MN, and NE. The first stop on our trip was in Des Moines, IA. Gene doesn’t remember being there, but I still say we were there together in like 2009 or 2010. Anyway, we started our Mid-West adventure there and it happened to be there during their annual State Fair. It was so amazing and it was extremely organized. They had everything, even parking and shuttles to the site down to a science. I was VERY impressed. Anyway, once inside the fairgrounds, I enjoyed seeing all the animals, especially some of the horse shows. I am going to eventually do a post on the fair, but wanted to share a little bit on this post about its history. Continue reading “Mid-West Adventure through IA, MN and NE – August 2023”

USA Flag

We have traveled a lot throughout the US and have actually been to 41 of the 50 States. Thus I decided to share some information about each state as well as the state road sign. If we didn’t get to a state sign yet (or forgot to get one while we were there), I have posted another picture of a state sign and will replace it once we have pictures. In the meantime, please enjoy the information on the states from Massachusetts-New Jersey.  FYI, these are in alphabetical order.

Lake Havasu Arizona – The 24 Lighthouse Replicas on the Lake

Lake HavasuLake Havasu currently claims the title of “the city with most lighthouses in America,” and thanks to the Lake Havasu Lighthouse Club, Arizona someday could surpass Michigan as the state with the most lighthouses. Arizona? Really? In the middle of the desert is not a place you would think of when you think of lighthouses.  However, if you have been to Lake Havasu you may have seen the 24 replica of famous lighthouses from the East Coast, West Coast and the Great Lakes area.
