Trip to Minnesota!

This summer I took a trip to Minnesota with two of my best friends, James and Weston. I also went with my twin brother Robert. We spent four days at my aunt's and uncle's house. While we were there, we spent everyday doing some fun, exciting activity.
The first day we were in Minnesota we went to the Mall Of America. We spent all day shopping at cool stores like, Zummies, Journeys, Puma, Jimmyz, Urban Outfitters, etc. Then, we went back to my Aunt Julie and Uncle Tim's house and hung out there for the rest of the day. The second day we decided to hop on a train to go downtown and see the sites. We went to some really cool places to eat like the Hard Rock Cafe and Rock Bottom. While downtown, we went to the Picasso Art Exhibit which was really cool, except for getting yelled at because we were to close the artwork. The third day, we went to Canterbury Park to bet on horse races. None of us first timers won any money, but my Uncle. Seeing that he has experience and been there before, he won about $60. That was really fun and exciting to experience. It's amazing how everyone gets so into the horses racing. People were screaming and yelling, it was hilarious. Around 11:30 we decided to go back to my uncles house because we lost all our money betting. The last day in Minnesota, we had spent most of the day at a casino. We played blackjack, and slots. That was lots of fun because it was a different casino from the one's that I've been at before this one. I won about $50 at the blackjack tables and decided to quit while I was ahead. Then, later that day, we went back to the Mall Of America to do some final shopping. After that, we went back to my uncle's and aunt's house, said our thank yous and goodbye's and headed on home.
That was one of my many trips that I took during the Summer. It was fun experiencing new things, and seeing the sites. I definitely will do this again!
