The Rest of the Trip

Gary came to Fargo on Thursday and spent a long weekend. I showed him around a bit, but since there is not much to see, I mostly showed him the significant things in my past - like my high school. :-)

We did go out with a few of my friends Friday night. We went to a nice restaurant downtown and I was really impressed with the things Fargo has done to the downtown area. They have some really nice places down there. We went to a restaurant called Monty's - described as "upscale but not uptight". Afterwards, we tried to go to the Hotel Donaldson for drinks, but it was a little crowded there, so we ended up at the Great Northern on the patio, which is the old train depot. It was a little cool but really nice to sit outside. All three places were really cool to visit.

Saturday was a high of 65 degrees, so we decided to go to the lake - LOL. Good timing on that plan. We went to see my aunt and uncle. My cousin (their son) is building a house next door, so that was fun to see. He was just out of the hospital after falling on a ladder a few days earlier and injuring his lung.

Sunday, Gary and I went to some new construction open houses. I always find it fun to see what they are building in Fargo in comparison to Dallas. There were some nice houses.

Our flight home was about an hour late getting into Dallas so that made for a late night.

It was a fun trip home.
