Franconia Sculpture Park

Did my first longer interstate drive with the Tesla Model 3 and Autopilot. Car drove itself without need for override south on I-35 from the edge of Minneapolis to Faribault. Display gives good indicators to convey confidence to driver as well. Impressed. 👍🏻🤖🚗

It’s snowing!? 🌨😧

This picture captures most of what I’ll remember from yesterday’s Minnesota United game. 🤬⚽️

Jack-o-Lantern Spectacular

We had a great time at the Minnesota Zoo Jack-o-Lantern Spectacular last night. I was blown away by the artistry and overall experience. It is created by Passion for Pumpkins with 5,000 pumpkins! The big, photo style pumpkins are very cool. 🎃👍🤩

Today’s Minnesota United match wasn’t the one I would have picked to be the last of the season for me, but so be it. Looking forward to seeing everyone at the new stadium next year! ⚽️

Excited for our final Minnesota United game of the 2018 season, and the last one in TCF Bank Stadium. Looking for some great soccer today! ⚽️👍🏻

Slow start for Minnesota United today. ⚽️
