minneapolis.
i don't get out much really, so seeing a new city was fun. as i mentioned yesterday, i thought minneapolis was really beautiful. here are some highlights from my trip!
this was a very cool part of town. i just love how they built a museum within the ruins of the old mill (we didn't actually go to the museum).
the art deco looking building in this picture was my favorite of their skyline (the tallest building in the pic). i also loved all the brick buildings. they are lucky they don't have to worry about earthquakes!
you can't do minneapolis without seeing mall of america. i was pretty disappointed, but i did find one treasure!
how can you beat a peanut butter cafe? this place was really cute. i had a peanut butter, nutella, banana and honey grilled sandwich for dessert. yum!!
and finally, the land of target. this one had a big grocery section it was pretty cool. we drove by the target headquarters but we were going too fast for me to snap a picture.
there are no pictures of the 18 hour side trip to wisconsin. there wasn't much to see out where we were visiting. it was just HOT. i wish i had taken a picture of the guy who did our software training for us. he looked and acted just like joey from friends (although obviously smarter since he was teaching software classes!).
and of course the trip to depth of field....i'll cover that tomorrow. i am still working on something from there. it was the only yarn store we made it to, but i was satisfied with what i found there. you'll see!

Being from Minnesota and going to Minneapolis more times then I know, I still have never seen that side of the Gold Medal Flour building. Gorgeous. (I love old builings) :) Hope you had a good time!
I suck! I have meant to e-mail you multiple times but I don't have your e-mail! I wanted to thank you for the CUTEST goodies ever. Carole gave it to me last weekend when the whole thing with our dog went down and I just completely forgot. I'm SO sorry!!!
I absolutely love the design of that museum. There's something really charming about reclaiming old sites for housing art. The structure becomes part of the art! Lots of that in NYC. Glad you had a great trip! Looks like you had lovely weather.
A friend of mine grew up in Minneapolis and she loved it there. From some of your pictures I can see why!
i love snoopy. i hear there's a lot of snoopy in the mall of america.
i would probably go just to hang out near the giant dog dish or something.
After living in NYC for so long I often forget that there are such GIANT places as the Mall of America...
The PB etc sandwich sounds YUMMY!
Cheers!
