Mall of America? ....as if fly wasn't expensive enough. g

Then Duluth... (150 miles)

Then up the Arrowhead and Boundary Waters area... (100 + 100 miles)

Then some open pit mines on the Iron Range... (75 + 25 miles)

Then, through "Lake Country" over to Fargo ND ...(80 + 130 miles)

Then 4 BBBBBillion year old rocks on the SW MN prairie... (240 miles)

Then across to the SE MN hardwood forests and rolling hills of the
Mississippi River Bluffs area... (250 + 50 miles)

Then up the Mighty Mississippi into Hastings, St Paul, Minneapolis and
Blaine... (140 + 20 + 10 + 20 miles)

Have they been to DC or New York City yet?

DC in April is suppose to be nice. We visited NY in April of '98 - GREAT
TRIP. Rooms are NOT expensive, if you call the hotel - direct, last minute.
(guessing 0.125AMU/night can be had x5 nights!) Stay on Broadway (or 1/2 a
block from) between 55th and 42nd St. It's a trip they'll ALWAYS remember.

Not sure what a week's tie-down at JFK runs? :-)


Montblack - take your pick.
2000 Honda Accord (6 CD changer - kids!)
1994 Airplane of Minivans (more, um ...functional, really. I'll send you off
with extra trani fluid. g)
