Chad ~ the biggest MN Sports fan I know ~ is here for a visit. I had the idea
to check to see if the Metrodome did tours. I found that they do! Cool. And for
only 3 bucks! We were excited. So I loaded Carson, Chad, Jacob and Austin in the
car and off we went.
Check out the pictures for details of all we got to see.
