Minneapolis MN - May Day Parade number 45

Grand Old Days was out and then it was back in.
May Day Parade is on but is it the last.  Lots of great days and traditions are up for grabs lately.
Not sure if the parade or the crowd is more interesting at the May Day Parade - many, many surprises and unique experiences each time I get to enjoy the day.
Today was on exception.

Saint Paul MN - Two unique and interesting STP sites

You never know who you may ride in the train with when you make the trek on the Green Line in any direction - today was no exception.
And then I got to attend an event in the James J Hill Center - an amazing place to hang out.

Saint Paul MN - The partying is starting

A big Italian dinner on a cool, grey Sunday night.  Nam managed the grill to have chicken perfection.

Saint Paul MN - Finally, Mary's schedule opens to celebrate

We had to wait until Mary was several weeks in to her path to 65 before she had availability to celebrate - but we finally made it happen.
Even got a non-snowy night after a threat of snow earlier in the day.
Mary was working her new found Cuban Dance Moves - otherwise, a typical birthday celebration.
We expected Sarah's new son to be the real star, but he called in sick along with a few others.

Minneapolis MN - Looking good downtown today

Lots of great reflections and blue sky this morning at the train stop.
A great glow before the next April snow shows up tomorrow.....

Stillwater MN - A beautiful Easter Sunday

We got 2 great days in a row - and they were both on the weekend.
Great sunny day to celebrate Easter - and we had a big crowd.
John and Michael decided it was a great day to get that first swim in for the season - definitely a cold one.

Saint Paul MN - The bike season begins

Sunny and 70 - finally.  A perfect Saturday and everyone was out and about.
