We have an exciting week and a half planned with hours upon hours of driving and a tour through several states. Although Matt and I strongly considered Nashville as a destination with a stop in southern Illinois to visit some highly recommended wineries, a change in plans means we are headed to Minneapolis and St. Paul. I think we are going to have lots of fun and have heard really great things about the Twin Cities so I am looking forward to it. But first we head to the Quad Cities (I know these numbered amounts of cities are getting confusing. It's a good thing there are no Triple Cities nearby!) to drop off Claire with Matt's parents. The last time I was in the Twin Cities I was in eighth grade and didn't venture outside of the Mall of American so my goal is to do a better job seeing the area this time! We have a growing list of restaurants to try and things to do, but are always open to more!

Nice outfit. The glasses match really nicely.
ReplyDeleteI hope you have an amazing time!! Can't wait to hear what you end up doing, and then maybe copy it for a future trip. And this outfit reminds me I should have been wearing this top more all summer! It must have gotten pushed to the back of the closet. Hmm, and it's not very fall-ish, so I'll have to remember it for next spring!
ReplyDeletethat sounds like a great trip you've got planned! can't wait to hear about it and see you photos!

ReplyDeleteI always love wedges with shorts and the loose fit of that top Laura. Surely the prefect summer casual outfit when travelling. xo Sabina @Oceanblue Style

Have fun in MN!! And love those shoes!!
ReplyDeleteYayyy Minneapolis/St. Paul! My old stomping grounds!! Things I recommend:
ReplyDelete- The Sculpture Gardens and Walker Art Museum - so cool...this is a must-do, in my opinion!
- Minnehaha Falls is a blast, and it's fun to explore the locks and dams along the Mississippi River.
- Republic is a fantastic restaurant/bar in Minneapolis that I HIGHLY recommend.
- If you guys like biking, there are bikes you can rent all around Minneapolis (Nice Ride) - I recommend going to Lake of the Isles, Lake Harriet, or Lake Calhoun for a nice bike ride!
- The Minneapolis Institute of Art is free, so that might be good if the weather is icky (although, it looks like this weekend is supposed to be delightful).
- Izze's Ice Cream in St. Paul is deeeelicious :)
- The Midtown Global Market in Minneapolis is a super cool place where you can eat food, enjoy entertainment, and see goods from all different places around the world. It's a great place to spend a day!!
- A Twins game at Target Field is always a good time as well!
So cute and summery!

I am so glad you said that! We were debating it and it's good to know it's worth going!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I showed this to my husband and he said these were exactly the kind of low key things we were looking for to do! I am so excited to try them out!
ReplyDeleteHooray! I'm so glad you liked the recommendations! :) I can't wait to hear about what you two do while you're here! :)
