We finished off May by having our first of 3 summer
visitors. My mom, dad, brother,
and his girlfriend Emily made a trip up here for the weekend. I picked up M&D at the airport Thursday
night and we made a stop at the Yarnery and grabbed some dinner at Brasa where
we were able to get some to-go food so Bobby, Emily and David would have some
food when they got here/home. Bob
and Em got here later Thursday night.
David was at rehearsal until 10:30.
Friday morning we woke up and ate breakfast at Egg & I
then headed towards Prospect Park for a view of Minneapolis. After that we headed to the Sculpture
Gardens and then let Bob and Emily go to the Mill City Museum while we walked
along the Stone Arch Bridge.
We
headed back to the apartment to get ready for David’s Covers concert that
night. We ate dinner at Ike’s Food
& Cocktails and walked across the street for the concert in Downtown
Minneapolis. The concert was
wonderful.
Saturday morning we headed to downtown St. Paul to do a
little shopping and exploring then to the Cathedral. We then ate lunch at my favorite place, Café Latte. (where we take everyone that comes
here) After lunch we shopped on Grand Ave and then went to the Swedish
Institute, which was really cool.
Saturday night, David had another concert, so while he was there we ate
dinner at Ngon a delicious Vietnamese bistro. We had picked up some cheese at the St. Paul Cheese shop, so
we enjoyed some cheese and bread after David got home and played Ticket to
Ride.
Sunday morning we went to church and then ate lunch at
Cosetta’s Italian market before heading to the airport. We dropped M&D off then took
B&E to the Mall of America.
They rode some of the rides and shopped a little before we dropped them
off at the airport. It was a great
trip, and we were so glad they came.
