Minneapolis, Minnesota

After the short stay in Madison and our trip to Annapolis for the naval academy graduation, we moved the bus to Minneapolis to see the sights of Minnesota. We quickly noticed that Minnesota reminded us of Canada in so many ways. The first order of business was to see a Twins game. We missed seeing the Brewers in Milwaukee, but got a chance to see them play at Target Stadium. We were able to get amazing seats for the game and had a great time. The stadium is fantastic and both teams are playing well. Unfortunately, the weather was not optimal for baseball. We had a bit of rain and a lot of cold. The brew crew came back in the 8th for the win. I agreed to spend a day at the Minneapolis Mall of America as part of the negotiations to bring Danelle to the midwest. We were fortunate to escape with just a little damage to the credit cards and several bags of stuff we probably didn't need, but still enjoyed seeing one of the largest malls in the world. Also in Minneapolis is the Cathedral of St. Paul. The cathedral construction started in 1906 and was completed many years later. The building is huge and impressive. I would highly recommend a visit.
