A weekend in Minneapolis

JJ and I went to Minneapolis for the first time this past weekend. Jonathan and Katie were having their wedding there on a beautiful Saturday afternoon at Minnehaha Park. After a small ceremony, we wandered through the park and checked out the Minnehaha Falls (one of main attractions in Minneapolis).


Their wedding day ended with champagne at the backyard reception. Congrats Jonathan and Katie Hobbs!


On Sunday, we decided to tour the other attractions of Minneapolis. Our first stop was the Mall of America, complete with its own indoor amusement park.



We had to see what the fuss was all about... and the metro stop that took us downtown was there.

Downtown Minneapolis is pretty dead on Sunday. Not much is open so we spent most of it just wandering around: through downtown, along the Mississippi, and Mill Ruins Park.



The Guthrie building was kinda neat although I didn't really figure out what it was for. It did have this cool lookout towards the river.

Capping off our evening were dinner at Fogo de Chao (less expensive than the one in Chicago!) and, the reason why we stayed an extra day in Minneapolis, the Travis concert (see next blog post)!!!
