Perfect weather this weekend meant we had to take advantage and go on a little outing. We chose heading to the Stone Arch Bridge, downtown Minneapolis. It's a beautiful old bridge, with arguably the best view of the Minneapolis skyline. There are also mill ruins as well as the Mill City Museum and the Guthrie Theater (with its own fantastic views) to explore nearby if you have lots of time on your hands.

We
brought the Chihuahuas with which meant we couldn't go into any of the
buildings, but they enjoyed a good long walk and did pretty well
considering I think most of Minnesota also decided to go to the bridge
on Saturday. They only outbursts that were had was when another dog
happened to walk by.
I can't believe I have lived here my whole life (minus those four pesky college years) and only been here twice. We really have no excuse as it's only a 10 minute drive from our house. I hereby resolve to make outings to the Bridge more frequently in the future.
