Rachel/Nick visit x2

Rachel and Nick came up here a couple of weeks ago for a weekend trip.  They got in Friday afternoon and went immediately over to the Mall of America for some shoe shopping.  We ate lunch there and admired the roller coasters...didn't ride any this time, and then walked around the mall once.  5 hours later, we left.  We had reservations for dinner that night at a restaurant called Chino Latino which is just like it sounds, a Chinese/Latin fusion restaurant that we've been saving for when they got up here.  We ordered these nachos that are made of fried plantain chips and pork egg rolls. We also had delicious desserts...the first one is fried ice cream in a taco shell with caramel sauce.  The other one was a flan covered brownie dessert that was uh-mazing!!

 

On Saturday we ate breakfast at Bon Vie then walked down to the cathedral to look around.  Then we went to The Yarnery, of course.  Nick helped me wind some yarn. 

That afternoon we went to the Mill City Museum.  This is the museum about Gold Medal Flour and how the Twin Cities came to be.

We ate dinner on the roof of Brit's Pub that night and got ice cream.  Sunday morning we got up and went to church then ate lunch at Punch pizza.  We had a lot of fun as usual and the weather was amazing.
