"Who can turn the world on with her smile?"
Minnepolis, hometown of Mary Richards aka Mary Tyler Moore and the twin city of St. Paul the capital of Minnesota.
We started the day a little later than usual due to a huge thunderstorm that came through the area. Once again what a difference a day makes.
After the thunderstorm finished with us we drove to The Mall of America and caught the Metro, which is conviently located on the lower level, into town. Once in town we found our way to the Swedish American Institute. Hopefully this is the last of Dads' trips to his root cellar.
We then found our way downtown and in search of a statue of Moms' idol Mary Tyler Moore. We found the statue, much to Moms' delight, and then strolled (and by strolled I mean walked a long way) down to the Mississippi River which separates Minneapolis from St. Paul. This used to be a major center for flour mills like Pillsbury and Gold Medal but that is long gone and they now have a beautiful walkway and park along the river.
Most of the day it rained so I was glad when we finally headed back to dryer parts, namely The Mall of America.
