A Twin Cities Fall Weekend

We went on a weekend road-trip from our place in Iowa, up to visit a friend in the Twin Cities.  It was a *beautiful* Fall weekend in early October, and we were dazzled by the area!  We drove around the many lakes in Edina and Minneapolis...

Even though it was Fall, a few flowers were exuberantly present!

We went on to the Mississippi River, and saw even more color

Saint Paul had some amazing architecture

And we were awestruck by the modern (and not so modern) buildings in downtown Minneapolis

Clearly, we got a little carried away....

On the advice of a friend, we went to Hell's Kitchen for breakfast (which was *great!*), so to even things out, we toured the Basilica on our way out of town
