We visited this fair city today. A lot of traffic and strange routing of traffic. Not my favorite city and not one I am likely to return to. Our trip downtown took us to...wait for it,,,a museum! This was the Mill City Museum celebrating the long heritage of milling flour here. Minneapolis was founded on the banks of the Mississippi at Saint Anthony falls. These falls provided the power for timber and flower mills. The Minnesota historical society runs the museum in the ruins of one of the old mills. Very informative about how the bills were built and powered.
Just south of Minneapolis is the city of Bloomington. It is the location of this little place called Mall of America with 500+ shops. You know Mary could not pass it by. Big, nice place with amusement park in middle. Mary and I could not find a ride we were capable of surviving.
Mary at this HUGE Crayola store/experience. This adult coloring book thing is getting out of hand!
Out to Red Wing tomorrow.
