We arrived in Minneapolis early evening. Easy flights, no turbulence, had to walk really fast in Phoenix to get the connecting flight. Cloudy, warm & humid here. Linda drove the rental car, which was no small task as many of the downtown streets are under construction. It took us a while to find the Hilton, but Casey and I both remembered the building with the music on the side (see photo), from last year's trip. Dinner in the hotel restaurant, Casey & Linda had steak, Margaret pasta w/shrimp, and I had a chicken pasta dish. Walked through the skywalk after dinner. Did you know most of the major buildings in the city are connected by a "skywalk." We have our plan for tomorrow starting with breakfast at 8 a.m. and then onto St. Paul and the Minnesota Children's Museum!

  1. Skywalks are a good idea, particularly when it is -10 degree during the winter!

    Looking forward to hearing about your visit to the Children's Museum (and hopefully a visit to the Hennepin County Library).
