The Minneapolis Bike Tour!


We had quite a fun weekend in Minneapolis! The boys spent Saturday night at Uncle Brad's house (Brad is a friend of mine from high school days), while Orn and I had a night on our own (we were staying at my brother John's house). We enjoyed a wonderful Indian meal at Namaste (on Hennepin around 24th or so) and an impromptu visit with Travis and Terri. The night ended watching the opening show of Saturday Night Live - too funny!!

On Sunday, Lisa met us at my brother John's house around 7am. The three of us hopped on our bikes and coasted down to Parade Stadium where we met up with Katie and other friends of hers. We all participated in the Minneapolis Bike Tour (a 14 mile or 37 mile bike ride around the Twin Cities to raise money for the Minneapolis Parks). We had planned on doing the 37 mile route, but since I have yet to fully recover from bronchitis I had to cut back to the 14 mile route. The others all did the 37 mile trek. Orn and I had a great ride (we both could have easily done more, but it was a very relaxing ride as it was). The picture is us at the end enjoying some much needed water.

After we had cleaned up back at John's house (and had a nice visit with John and our other nephew Kyler) and the others finished their bike ride a bunch of us went out to lunch before we hightailed it back up to St. Cloud. A very fun weekend indeed!
