Day Two: Minnesota

Kelli took me on a tour of the Greater Minneapolis Area today. We toured around Medicine Lake which had some gorgeous houses - primo real estate. Then we drove Thedore Wirth Parkway which took us on a tour of Cedar Lake, Lake of the Isles, Lake Calhoun and Lake Harriett. Everyone was outside; runnng, biking, rollerblading, playing with their dogs. It was awesome and entirely enviable. Today's weather was beautiful with a nice nip in the air - add to that beautiful scenery and gorgeous foliage and you have yourself a fantastic Autumn day. sigh.

Afterwards, we stopped at the huge REI store (I wish they would get one of these in San Antonio) and then made our way over to BW3 to meet up with Rick for some college football and a late lunch.

Then we decided to head over to the Mill District. Photographer's dream. A mix of old crumbled mill's (Gold Medal Mill) and urban architecture and it made for a beautiful scene. There must of been someone getting married down there, because we saw a bunch of people wearing tuxedos. What an awesome location!

We checked out the mighty Missippi River on top of the Stone Arch Bridge and checked out the lock dam and Saint Anthony Falls. This area was so beautiful and very trendy. This is ideal real estate for the loft districts.

We took a scenic route home, even going offroad to get a picture of a beautiful tree that is turning a beautiful color of orange red. We just topped off our night by eating some tasty pizza from River Inn here in Hanover and are waiting for Saturday Night Live to come one so we can relive the old days. Rebels, I know.
