Minnesota trip


金曜日はiPhoneの発売日だったので、買いに行ってきました。お店が開店する1時間前に行ったんだけど既に40人位が並んでいたっけ。それでも主要都市とかで買うのに比べたら少ない人数だし2時間程並んですんなり2つ買えました。買った後はジョシュの実家があるミネソタに向かいました。土曜日にジョシュの親戚の人の結婚披露宴があると言う事でね。相変わらず片道6時間は遠いっても私は行きも帰りも運転しないんだけどね。天気にも恵まれて、お買い物も出来たし家族とも楽しい時間を過ごせたりと、ただ木曜日の夜から私、体調を崩しちゃって体調万全じゃなかったのが残念だったけど。

This past Friday, we woke up early, went to a nearby AT&T store to get a pair of iPhone's (3G's). We arrived one hour early and were shocked that about 40 people were already in line waiting for the store to open at 8 am. (This is Nebraska, right?!?) Anyways, we finally got into the store and purchased two 8 GB iPhone's at about 9:30 am, the last two. After that we headed towards Minnesota to meet the family and attend Michael & Catherine's Wedding Reception the following day. We saw many relatives, some of whom that we haven't seen for close to 10 years! Takako kept stating that the distance is a long ways to travel (about 5-6 hours) but well worth the miles. She didn't drive, she was chauffeured. We had a great time, spending time with the family and shopping. The weather was perfect (everyday in the 70s-80s), however Takako had a sore throat the entire time. She is feeling much better now.

お疲れ様でした。
いろいろ楽しかったみたいだし、iPhoneもゲットできて良かったですね~。体調のほうは大丈夫ですか?体調崩してたのなら、お酒は飲めなかったかもしれませんね。・・って、禁酒中でしたっけ?

義理弟に「お酒飲もうよ」と誘われましたが、体調もすぐれず何より禁酒中だったので飲めず、、、。
