Minnesota-Minneapolis and St. Paul

Even National Geographic loves Minnesota...

Minneapolis was ranked as 4th best summer vacation... in the world! :)


So.  I know we've done this before, but what are you favorite things to do here in the summer?  Want to share any 'hidden treasures' in the Twin Cities?

    woo go us! :) I love that they featured the photo of Target field. :) Because that is DEFINITELY one of my favorite parts of summer. The other favorite part is sitting at my parents house (and my childhood home) in our backyard, lounging either near or in the pool, and then making smores when it gets dark over our firepit. THE BEST part of summer for me.

    I also love boating on the rivers, but haven't done it in YEARS.

    That's great!! Since I live & am from WA I do have to get a little excited that San Juan Islands is #3 :) If you ever make it here definitely check it out - it is beautiful, probably one of my favorite places.

    We love...

    road trips to greater MN and WI (especially Osceola for the waterfall)
    playgrounds with DS
    bonfires
    barbeques
    I love downtown and uptown Mpls like nobody's business...but I'm glad I don't live there anymore.  I like to get a bit of "city" when I feel like it and then go home to the peace and quiet....summers are the best time for walking in the city! 
    Love the Guthrie's endless bridge
    Stonearch bridge
    North Shore
    Duluth
    Cabin in Vermillion

    other than that we are indoor people so that caps my list!  a lot of the time we just like grilling on the deck in the summer or hanging out in the backyard.
