Grand Forks ND, Road trip

This weekend my wife and I drove to Grand Forks ND to meet up with a bunch of her UND alumni girl friends and significant others. The weekend centered around watching the Fighting Sioux get whipped by Colorado. The stadium was an amazing facility for a college team, it was heaving with students and it was great to see such spirit, this was lacking at my school in Bristol.

The drive to Grand Forks was long and uneventful, during the weekend we were rammed while stationary in a parking lot and the plastic fender was ripped of my wife’s brand new BMW – she was not amused. Thankfully no one was harmed. Plastic can be fixed….

There was no room in town so we stayed in Crookston MN just over the border, which is nowhere in the middle of somewhere. That whole area is flat desolate cold and windy, other than that delightful! Saturday after the game we stayed at one of their old college drinking haunts Bonzer's until the wee hours, I felt very old watching the college kids picking each other up. In ten more years that will be our daughters…. Aghhhhh.
