We left Cape Coral at 3:30 in the morning on Wednesday.  We had heard that people were evacuating in droves and the highway 75, which is the main route on the West side of the state, was packed.  We also heard the gas stations were running out of fuel.  Gary was able to go on his gas buddy app to see which gas stations had gas, so we planned accordingly.

Of course later in the day, the cat was trying to get a comfortable spot to sleep

Should I sleep this way?

Huh, these chips don’t make a very comfy pillow

Aaaaah, just right

We finally arrived in Minnesota on Friday morning.  I had just enough time to get my nails done before we went on the Grooms Dinner cruise on a boat on Lake Minnetonka

Us on Grooms Dinner boat

It was a lot of fun cruising the river and seeing how the other half lives ;).  While we were on board, I received a “code red” alert on my phone.  It said they there was a mandatory evacuation in Zone A.  Where do you think we live?  Yup, right in zone A.  Good thing we were already evacuated.  At least we could drink away our worries at a nice dinner party :).

The next day we went to the wedding.  They had the ceremony outside

Sweating Mom and Dad

Here is mom and dad, hoping the bride doesn’t chicken out and not show up.  They would have hated getting all dressed up for nothing ;).

Beautiful Bride and Handsome Groom

The lovely couple saying “I Do”

And the rest of the family.  Aren’t they just cute as a button?  Notice the large beer sitting on the table.  That belongs to dad, so relived all went well and the day was almost over ;).

Congrats to the Bride and Groom!
