This week began with family visiting from Indiana. It was super fun to take them down to the Mall of America -- since that's where they wanted to go -- and point out some of our landmarks. As we came over the hill on 35W to head south
through Minneapolis, Natalie called back to her daughter, "That's the city! Right there."
And it's not like Minneapolis has the most beautiful skyline or even unique skyline, but they are taking a
six week road trip and traveling to the West Coast. They will go through many different cities, and it will be really cool to see all the differences and similarities.
It was also cool to
hear them exclaim over some of the things we may take for granted like the Stone Arch Bridge and US Bank Stadium. I pointed on the road where George Floyd was killed. I forgot to mention that the 35 W bridge we traveled over was the bridge that collapsed in 2007. They ended their one day visit at Pizzeria Lola.
And while I wanted to show them around Summit Avenue and the Walker Sculpture Garden and the MN State Capitol, I guess it was a pretty good one day in Minnesota. Because the next day, they were headed for the Badlands.
What would you have suggested they see while they were here?
