special relativity - Four-vector addition in Minkowski space


I've been reading that Minkowski space is a real vector space; atleast in flat space-time. So that means that we should be able to define vector addition, scalar multiplication, etc. But since four-vectors in space-time are events, how does adding two events make sense? More importantly, what is the meaning of the resultant vector?
