For part of Spring Break, we took a long weekend trip to the Twin Cities in Minnesota. We visited the Mall of America, the Science Museum, a local brewery for dinner that was featured on Diners Drive-ins and Dives called Surly Brewing Company, an activity center that had lazer tag, bumper cars, an arcade, mini golf, trampolines and a huge indoor playground with air powered ball shooters. We saw a really cool waterfall in the Minnehaha Falls Park that we could walk over and see from different areas on some surrounding walking trails. The weather was warm enough that we took a walk along the river there...not the Mississippi. On the way home, we stopped at the Leinie Lodge, because I'd never been there and it was right on the way. Becky and I had a few samples and the boys got to have soda.
