Day 7 - Free Day and Chanhassen Dinner Theater too

By:  Jim and Lela Grime - Adventure 7

Another beautiful fall day in Minnesota.  It was clear and windy this morning and the falling yellow leaves were swirling this way and that.  Madi, Carole, Ken and Spence hosted a huge and tasty breakfast, cooked and served outdoors.  There were pancakes, bacon, orange juice, fruit cups, coffee and hot chocolate.  A great way to start the day.

pancakes are just right
There was plenty of time to explore the area and many went to the Mall of America for shopping or sightseeing.  There was a briefing by the Wagonmasters in the early afternoon to discuss the next day's travel to Wisconsin and at 4:45 everyone boarded the bus for the trip to the Chanhassen Broadway Show and Dinner Theatre.

The weather quickly changed in the afternoon with rain showers, but this did to deter anyone from an evening of fun. 

The Chanhassen Dinner Theatre is the largest professional dinner theatre complex in the nation and the largest privately owned restaurant in Minnesota and the largest employer of professional actors in the Midwest.

This evening the performance was "Hairspray" and everyone agreed it was fantastic, as was the dinner.
