Out and About - Minneapolis Sculpture Garden

Since the weeks/days before heading back to work or school are rapidly decreasing, Brandon and I decided that we would get out a little bit and explore some places in and around the Twin Cities. There really are no rules to this adventure, except we have to be able to take Lucy wherever we go. We started out a couple of weeks ago by visiting the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden on the edge of Downtown Minneapolis. I picked out this first place, but I had also asked Brandon to come up with some places he would like to go, and on the way there when I asked him about it, the only thing he had come up with was "the place with the Spoonbridge and Cherry or whatever." I was happy to inform him that this is where we were going.

So here are the kiddos in front of said sculpture:


Brandon seemed to have a good time. We walked all around the sculpture garden, then over the pedestrian bridge that spans Hennepin/Lyndale Avenues to Loring Park. You can see more of our photos here. The ride home was, of course, interrupted by a stop at Dairy Queen.

I wanted to take this opportunity to spend a little time with Brandon, get us all out of the house, and also take him to some places he has never been (same goes for me, or at least places I haven't been in awhile). Last week Brandon was in the Boundary Waters, but this week we are back to exploring. Stay tuned for our next adventure!
