MINNEAPOLIS
I was so excited to get this opportunity at work, to attend a conference in Minneapolis with a few of my coworkers. We landed around noon, and then checked in to our hotel. The weather was a little hotter than we expected, 92F, and I didn’t last very long walking around the neighborhood from the hotel.
I did manage to catch up with a birth photography friend of mine, who on VERY short notice met me downtown to hang out with me for an hour and a half.
