Over my 48 years, I’ve done my fair share of travelling across these United States. I thought it would be an interesting experiment go look back at those trips to each of the 31 states I have visited (62% isn’t bad, is it?) and see if, and when, I may be returning. Working in alphabetical order, we continue today with the 32nd state to be added to the Union: Minnesota.

I made my one and only visit to the Gopher State in July of 2014 as part of a road trip to see the White Sox battle the Twins.
On a Friday in late July, Danny, Michael, and I took the long trip up to Minneapolis to see the White Sox take on the Twins. After arriving at the hotel, we took the 1.2 mile walk over to Target Field, where the White Sox managed to defeat the Twins. Saturday, we went to the Mall of America for some more mini golf, a mirror maze, and general traipsing. After a search for lunch, we returned to the hotel for some afternoon swimming before heading back over to Target Field for another White Sox winner. We called an audible on Sunday and decided to forego the last game of the series, so we checked out of the hotel and started the long drive home.
Will I return? Probably, someday. I’m sure there are other things to see in Minnesota.
