Fun in the Twin Cities 2022

My son wanted to go see The Spoonbridge and Cherry in Minneapolis. It is an outdoor giant sculpture in the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden. Since we visited over Christmas, the area had a delightful coating of snow. The snow and the holiday season resulted in no one else being there.

Posing with the sculpture

Hahn/Cock is a blue rooster that looks over the sculpture garden. We didn't get too close because we did not know if it would peck at us! That's the Basilica of St. Mary in the distance, which we sadly did not visit.

Church and bird, a good name for a pub?

The spider-imitating Arikidea is made of steel beams and is eye-catching. I am not sure I would have guessed "spider" if I was positing an inspiration for the work.

We also visited the Mall of America which had Christmas decorations up.

Silver trees!?!

We saw the amusement park but did not ride any rides since we came for lunch. We rode plenty the last time we were here.

Theme park in a mall!

Fun climbing walls

We spent most of our time in the M&M store, which has every sort of color candy and a wide variety of items and accessories to buy including aprons, plush dolls, and ice-cream servers.

Are they cones or bowls?

We also stayed at the Great Wolf Lodge, which I blogged about earlier this month.
