Weekend In Minnesota

We had a nice weekend up in Minneapolis for Brian and Katie's wedding. It was a quick trip, but kind of nice to get away nonetheless. They had a very unique wedding in the backyard of their lakehouse. I loved that it was casual enough that I didn't have to get all dressed up. Brian & Katie had their dog Barney for a ring bearer. It was kind of cute, Barney didn't leave Katie's side all day long.

After the wedding a pirate ship showed up to give people trips around the lake - such a fun idea! They also had boats and wake boarding, but unfortunately it was too cold of a day to swim in the lake anyway (which was fine by me!).

It was good to catch up with family that I haven't seen in awhile and just sit back and not do a whole lot for a few hours. Steve and I were both exhausted from a busy last few days before the wedding, so unfortunately we weren't the most exciting folks to be around.
Me with Bonnie (my stepmother).
Sunday we slept in (yes, it's sad that 8:00 am is "sleeping in" to us) and then headed to downtown Minneapolis to hang out for awhile before we met up with more family for lunch. This was the first time that we've driven to Minneapolis since we move to Madison and it was actually a pretty quick and painless drive, so I'm sure we'll be going again in the future to do some more exploring of the city. Next weekend we're off to Devil's Lake to go camping for the weekend!
