Theo's Final Hockey Game of 2026

Today we had the last hockey game of the season over at North Commons back in our old Minneapolis neighborhood. Before Theo's game we got ourselves all packed for our trip to Japan next week.  This is everything I'm bringing in my suitcase. Three outfits, pouch for my phone charger and headphones, my travel hair straightener and toiletries.  Then there are the Japan specific items: plastic bags to carry our garbage since there aren't a ton of public garbage cans, a coin purse to carry all of our coins and a hand towel with paper soap since some public restrooms only have a sink. I will also pack a backpack in my suitcase.  Then extra items in my fanny pack for the plane ride. A blow up neck pillow, eye mask, Delta headphones, ear plugs, wallet, Tokyo guide book, Theo's chopsticks and extra utensils, Kleenex and our passports.  And just like that it was already Theo's last game.
