St. Louis Park, MN

I enjoyed a weekend trip to St. Louis Park, MN with daughter and one grandson. It wasn't my first trip to MN, but the Minneapolis area was new to me.

The streets of granddaughter's neighborhood are blooming with a new kind of beauty. Many homeowners seem to be ditching the mower, opting instead for wild grasses and flowers that invite nature right to their doorsteps. This eco-friendly shift supports local wildlife and adds a unique charm to the area. 

During our drive through this area, we saw Wild Turkeys,

A young buck,

and a Great Egret.

We also went to Cedar Lake ...

And Bde Maka Skak Park where we saw an immature loon, sail boats, and people paddle boarding.

Were ate too much, but in our defense, all the restaurants had such awesome food. Of course, we also watched granddaughter try on wedding dresses. She said yes to the dress and it is beautiful.
