Jeff, Sandi, Jason, Cora, Joe, Christine (Gang of Six) |
The best part of the trip was meeting Sandi, Jason, Cora and Joe. We were an inseparable group....literally.
I honestly believe I have never had so much beer in my life.

The Twins play in a beautiful outdoor ballfield, Hammond Stadium. SunCountry Vacations got great seats behind home plate for the group of about 60 to watch the game.

Joe Schmidt, Sandi, Bill Smith, Chris |
Friday night 1500AM ESPN hosted a live radio show at the hotel. Joe Schmidt from KSTP was the celebrity host for the weekend. Bill Smith, the Twins General Manager, was a guest on the show and stayed to talk and have fun.
Joe Mauer's brother, Jake, was also there.
Saturday was a free day. I rented a mini-van from Enterprise and the Gang of Six headed north of Ft. Myers to visit an eco-tour/farm.
Michelle our guide had a great deadpan delivery, a wandering eye that could see alligators everywhere, and a lot of Florida eco-knowledge.
