Minnesota trip recap

Jul 07, 2010 11:00

Yesterday I got back from my trip to Minnesota! It was super fun! Spending five days in a strange land near a bunch of lakes can be tiring, but I saw so many cool things! I am glad that I was able to hang out with Grace and just check out the cool place.

I touched down on July 1 at night and we went to go see the band Bella Ruse play at this bar/restaurant. Cool band that covered two Beatles songs! They did "Blackbird" and this awesome song! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uUW7aBgwHc8



On the second day, I took a minor bike tour through the University of Minnesota campus. It's a huge campus and it's gorgeous!




And it's right along the Mississippi River! Very nice!

Then later that day, we went for the Jucy Lucy: Minnesota's most famous burger! Cheese stuffed in between a LARGE beef patty. You have to wait five minutes after it's served or the cheese will burn ya!


Then on Saturday, we found our way to the Walker Art Museum and Sculpture Garden. Going on a free day is sweet! Here are just some pics





A dolphin that answers questions I ask!




On Sunday, it was off to Target Field to see the Twins play!






Here are the rest of the pics I took from that game

Then my goals were complete when I went here!


If you don't know anything about it, shame on you and look it up!

Then after that, we went to the Mill City Museum... a museum built inside what used to be the largest flour mill in all of America. But after being beat out by Pillsbury and having explosions and fires, the mill closed and was opened up as a museum.


Then later that night, fireworks!


On Monday, my final day at in Minnesota, I went to the Mall of America: the biggest mall in the country. Supposedly, it's 7 hours to walk through the whole place. Since it's so big, just one pic is enough for you! And yes, there is an amusement park within the mall!


And that's it folks! That's my weekend trip! Fun? Of course!

All photos can be found here if you want to see the rest of them.
