Happy Bday ๐Ÿฅณ Kaitlyn

Happy 12th bday

We will take a bunch of new pictures April 7-11 ๐Ÿ˜Š

Good morning – what a lovely week to turn 12. Itโ€™s not often that a special girl like you turns 12 – Dad is going to make this week really exciting.


Get in the truck and letโ€™s go to the USA ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ! Itโ€™s a 1.5 hour drive from home to the border – we will be leaving Canada ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ. Tonight we are staying in a town called Fargo, itโ€™s 3 hours total drive, and we will decide what to do when we get there.

Tomorrow we drive to our hotel in Minneapolis (4 more hours). The total drive is 7-8 hours long, we will stop for snacks, food, clothes shopping and pictures ๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿ˜†

Monday at 2pm we will be pulling over to watch the Solar Eclipse! I got us special glasses ๐Ÿค“ so we can look up at the Eclipse without it hurting our eyes. If you want to learn more about what a solar eclipse is, check Google.

Get to see a partial eclipse, on your bday, how cool ๐Ÿ˜Ž

Weโ€™ll stop at a mall to do some clothes shopping – then check into a hotel ๐Ÿจ in a city called Minneapolis. The hotel is named โ€œBest Westernโ€ – they have some comfy beds for us that night. We sleep there on April 8.

In the morning we wake up and eat a tasty breakfast ๐Ÿง‡ get on a shuttle ๐ŸšŒ and head to the airport โœˆ๏ธ (the truck stays at the hotel) ๐Ÿ˜† Itโ€™s only a 10 min drive from the hotel to the airport.

At 9am on April 9 we leave Minneapolis on an airplane – weโ€™re flying to to a city called Nashville ๐Ÿช• ๐Ÿค  Itโ€™s a 2 hour flight and we arrive at 11am.


Downtown Nashville
Embassy Suite is our hotel for 2 nights
Nashville, Tennessee A.K.A. MUSIC CITY ๐ŸŽธ ๐ŸŽน
Pretty City ๐ŸŒ†

Once our plane lands we take a taxi to our hotel called โ€œEmbassy Suitesโ€ which is right in the middle of downtown Nashville, a great place for us to sleep after we explore and go to a Jets Game! Weโ€™re sleeping here for 2 nights ๐Ÿ˜ด

Our room – they bring in a cot or we can use the pull out bed ๐Ÿ›๏ธ

Iโ€™ve purchased us 2 tickets for the Jets game in Nashville – the jets ๐Ÿ›ฉ๏ธ play the Nashville Predators ๐Ÿ˜บ. At the game we are sitting with Uncle Paul and Auntie Nono and some other crazy Winnipegers. We are wearing white Jets Jerseys but everyone else in the arena will be wearing yellow cheering for the other team ๐Ÿ˜น๐Ÿ˜น๐Ÿ˜น. The game starts at 7pm on April 9 (Tuesday) and should end about 10pm.

April 9 2024 7pm at Bridgestone Arena ๐Ÿ’ ๐Ÿฅ…

April 9 is going to be a blast, that day we will have taken a plane to Nashville, got to our fancy hotel and went to a Jets game!

The next day we wake up and eat a tasty breakfast ๐Ÿฅž ๐Ÿณ ๐Ÿฅ“ and have all day to explore the area, the weather is supposed to be super nice โ˜€๏ธ. I hope we can enjoy some live music somewhere, Nashville is also called โ€œMusic Cityโ€ so I think we should be able to find a concert. It wonโ€™t be a huge concert – like Elton John – but we should find something pretty cool. People in Nashville really enjoy Country Music ๐Ÿค 


This is in our hotel

On April 11 at 10:30am we fly back to Minneapolis and get in the truck. We drive for 7 hours back to Winnipeg, we should be home by bedtime (weโ€™ll stop for some tasty food on the way) ๐Ÿ”

Happy Birthday, this should be a really great oneโ€ฆ the bummer is you miss 4 days of school ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ
