On another note, it looks like we will be in MN from Dec. 22 (evening) to Jan. 2.
We will be traveling to Chicago Dec. 27-30 and back to MN on the 31st.
We are open for New Year's Eve right now....
Vikings game New Year's Day...
Since we will do both MN and IL over the Christmas holiday, we probably will NOT be going to IL in February! I think this will be easier for us all!
