Fall Break in the Twin Cities

.

When we moved to Minnesota I didn’t understand why people would go “up north” for vacation. Wouldn’t they want to go SOUTH and find sunshine and warm weather. Well, when I finally went “up north,” it all made sense. It’s magnificent.

As fall break approached, we thought about indulging in more of that ‘up north’ beauty. But instead, we decided to stay home, check out some local spots, and take a breather before sports and the holiday busy-ness have us running.

Here are some highlights:

  • Clark and Paul found recipes on TikTok. While I was working at the Artisan Home tour, they road their bikes to Aldi, bought groceries with their own money, and cooked chicken and pasta for the family! I could not have been more proud.

  • We made a trip to the Mall of America, where we explored the new Museum of Illusions—such a fun and mind-bending experience.

  • First college visit for George! We got a tour of the University of Minnesota. What a BEAUTIFUL campus.

.

The U of M has one of the largest campus bookstores in the county.

Beautiful historic buildings on the U of M campus!

  • We went to a Minnesota Timberwolves preseason game against the Denver Nuggets. Unfortunately, AntMan was not playing, but it was still a fun game to watch.

  • Clark was back on the court. He is playing on a ‘pre-seaon’ team before his first ‘high school’ try out. Here’s a quick video highlight:

  • Luke had one additional day off so we spent the day together playing pickle ball and going to The Wild Robot. It was a cute movie, but we like the book better.

We are loving this unusually warm fall in Minnesota. The tree outside my house is bringing me absolute delight!

Thanks for reading and happy fall, y’all!
