Minneapolis Snapshots

Sasha and I headed to Minnesota for the weekend to spend time with friends. They live in the wonderful city of Minneapolis – it’s also the city where my brother-in-law grew up, so we’ve been meaning to go for ages now. We certainly weren’t disappointed. Despite a rainy Saturday, we found Minneapolis to be a gorgeous, outdoorsy city, filled with delicious restaurants and unique things to see (i.e. the massive cherry below). We ate a light snack after we arrived at The Local in downtown, had dinner on Friday at Punch Neopolitan Pizza, ate breakfast at Edina Grill, and then had lunch at Gorkha Palace on Saturday. We dined at Loring Kitchen and Bar before we headed to Cirque du Soleil’s Amaluna on Saturday evening, then finished the weekend off on a great note at Cafeteria in Uptown before heading to the airport. I seriously enjoyed every single bite of food we ate on the trip (as did Sasha!). It was so nice to spend time with Sasha’s friends and their adorable girls. Next up, NYC in one month!

Off To Minneapolis

Sasha and I are heading to the Land of 10,000 Lakes (i.e. Minneapolis, Minnesota) today to visit one of his best friends who moved there a few years ago for work. It’s also the city where my sister’s husband, Carl, grew up, and I’ve heard so many amazing things about this gorgeous outdoorsy place. There has been a countdown for this trip! I cannot wait to see his friend’s two girls for the first time and also to go to Amaluna, one of Cirque’s new shows. It is about  a mysterious land governed by goddesses. It’s a love story between the queen’s daughter and a young suitor. You can watch a preview here. So excited! Have a wonderful weekend.
