I'd love to come home to MN for a do!

Unfortuantly, I'm nearly fully booked for the summer with work and personal trips already.

But I do have some suggestions:

Something other than MOA, or at least not a tour of it--there's so much more to see and do in MN when the weather is good.

For our family reunion last year, my family had a catered dinner one of those big old-fashioned paddleboats departing from St. Paul and cruising a few miles down the Miss. Unfortunately, I couldn't go, but I heard that it was a blast and not overpriced.

A tour of NW's NATCO (Northwest's pilot training facility--they train pilots from airlines all over the world.) I don't know if NW would be willing to do it, but it's worth a shot. I went there a couple of times in high school and it was very cool--I thought so mostly because I got to fly a 744 sim with an instructor. NW even gave us dinner I hope they'd be willing to do the same for dedicated FTers --it might even win 'em some more business.

Edited to add...Doesn't James Page have tourable brewery in St. Paul?
