Just Drive.

Geoff and I loaded our stuff and our pups into the car this weekend and took a trip to Minneapolis as kind of a belated Valentine's Celebration.  We had a lot of fun.  The weather took a turn for the worst and ruined some of our plans, but we managed to make the most out of it anyway.

In order to not worry about kenneling the dogs or finding them a baby-sitter, we had to find a pet-friendly hotel that would also allow you to leave the dogs at the hotel (many hotels require you to take the dogs with you when you leave).  We also wanted to get a good deal.  We ended up finding a place at the north end of Minneapolis and we spent a lot of time in mid-town and south Minneapolis so we did a lot of driving to and fro'.  Neither Geoff nor I know our way around the Twin Cities, so the GPS was our best friend.  We took the same route 2 or 3 times.  Since I wasn't driving, I never paid attention at all to the route or how to drive it without the GPS.  However, I think the GPS figured out we had already taken the route before.

The first time we drove that way, I recall the GPS telling us "keep right at the fork," "keep left at the fork," "merge onto Minnesota 45 S," etc...  The second time, the same.

The third?  Well, the third time (I kid you not), we hear this direction: "Follow signs for Minnesota 45 S."  And then?  Silence.  Apparently she was tired of giving us the play by play.
