We finally broke the cold this weekend and what a day it was. We got up early today and had to take care of a few things. Nicole got a haircut and I had a Troy Village Homeowner's Meeting. After both were done we headed WEST to Wayzata. We went to check out the Chilly Open, which is a golf tournament they have on Lake Minnetonka. We had never been to this and wanted to check it out to see if it was something we would participate in next year. By the time we had heard abou it this year it was filled up. So, basically they blaze fairways on the lake and line them with evergreens and make 2 different 18 hole courses. What we really learned is that it is a BIG PARTY on the lake. There is a 19th hole which is a big tent with a live band and a chili cookoff. Area restaurants give free chili and you vote on the best one. They don't sell alcohol so everyone brings their own. We noticed lots of people pulling a sled with either a kid in it or cases of beer, or both. It was very fun out there (the weather helped because it was warm and sunny) and I think it is something we will try to do next year.
After watching some of the golf we ate lunch at Sunsets in downtown Wayzata on the lake and then we stopped at Anthropologie (Nicole's favorite store) in Edina on our way home.
Now we are watching the Gophers beat the Pioneers of Denver (up 3-0 after 1st period). We went to the game last night and watched them lose a great/close game 2-1. My buddy Brent Snyder went to DU so I was talking some trash to him abou the Gophers taking down his 4th ranked team, but they just couldn't get it done last night. A split this weekend would be great!
Also wanted to let you all know that my cousin Kristin (Will) Pierson had her first baby this past week and we have another boy in the Will family. They named him Will Gregory Pierson. Congrats Mike and Kristin.
Get out and enjoy the weather everyone!!
