So... the Holiday Week began with a little celebration at Harbor Lights with three of Jean's most favorite folks... Jerry, Jillian and Darren. We celebrated a day early since, since Jean's actually birthday kinda got lost in a bunch of life that had to take place before we left for Minneapolis on Tuesday, Darren left for NYC on Monday, and Jillian left at 12:30 am for Minneapolis on Wednesday! Whew! When Jean's actually birthday burst forth... Her Diva's took her to lunch at Boathouse where she had the Best Bloody Mary ever she proclaimed.... sorry, not pics of that... Jean, Julie and Liz were too busy enjoying their gabfest!
Got to Minneapolis and checked into the Radisson Blu... Stayed here once before, but this room was a suite with an adjoining bedroom for Jillian and Halley to stay in. Wow... Quite the decor... very modern for sure... Very cold, by the way here in MSP.... 11 degrees... clear... slight breeze....
Found the best store in Mall of America... Jillian's fav now... Bettie Page!... vintage clothing... They fit her well... Her dad was patient and sat in the VIP area where she could model the items for him!!!
Dang... the sales clerk's arms are right behind Jilli, so you can't see her curves... Note, though, she has her brace off for the pose... She said, she will wear none of these till she no longer has to wear the brace... been almost three months now...
Halley's crutch is like a cane for Jillian, and if Jillian had her crutches here, they would be taller than Halley...
So, we have a Volvo we rented... and these pictures just don't do justice to the laughter we were having due to the headrest in the back seat. This picture doesn't show it well, maybe I'll take another, but, there is a button in the front seat that you push, and it lowers the headrest in the rear... even if someone is sitting there... Jerry and Jillian started playing with them and Halley and Jean were getting bonked in the head... Had to be there I guess to appreciated all the laughter it was causing... way too complicated to share the build up to how we figures out what that button did!
Christmas in a Martini with three straws they prepared just for us... Thank you Halley for taking the picture!
