The Journey 2008: Day 10


Sorry it took a little while. I need to get this back on track and not take so long to update. I know you all are waiting and wanting to know what happens next on The Journey 2008, haha. :)

We begin day 10 at Minnehaha Falls, and what a beautiful day it was. Great day for a wedding and celebrating with our friends.


Little Asian dance group all dressed up for a day at the park. Looked like they were out for a little photo shoot.


This crazy building is the Frederick R. Weisman Art Museum on the University of Minnesota campus. Wish we had more time to check out how crazy the inside looked as well.


This crazy modern looking building is the Guthrie Theater. I know Morgan would have loved to go see a musical there. She would love to see a musical pretty much anywhere anytime she gets the chance.



The old mill area down by the Mississippi river.


Now we begin our portion of the journey following (well at least partly for part of the way) The Great River Road, down the Mississippi River.


Here we are at the Midtown Global Market. Amy and I had some good Middle Eastern food, and Morgan had some good Asian food. How can you go wrong with good food from around the world?


Here is the house we stayed at while in Minneapolis. It was a beautiful house in the middle of Lebanon Hills Regional Park off a dirt road with trees, paths and lakes nearby.


Now it is time for Tom and Carrie's Big Day!!!


The beautiful bride walking down the aisle.


A little laugh during the ceremony.



Ring time.


The kiss...it's official!!! It's time to celebrate.


Here is the happy couple.





Off to Wisconsin to catch the party boat to cruise the St. Croix River for the reception.


Tom and Carrie on the boat and ready to celebrate.


It was a beautiful day with perfect weather to be out on cruising the river.



Here is the party table. Santa Maria represent.


Tom showing all the guys the proper way to kiss their lady.


Cheers to the happy couple.



Two happy couples, and look I made it into a picture today.


A couple more pictures of the happy couple enjoying their day.



Good-bye Carrie and Tom...time for your honeymoon. Thanks for letting us share in your special day. It was an amazing day, and we had a great time celebrating it with you both. You are a great couple, and you will make great parents to Small Child who is coming into you life soon. We will have to plan another road trip out to Minnesota with our little one to meet your little one. Sound like a plan? :)


Time for us to head out of Minnesota. We are off to Iowa City, IA. Tomorrow we work our way down the Mississippi River to St. Louis, MO.

We added Wisconsin and Iowa to the state mix. Now we have been to 13 states and only have 6 new ones left to go.
