A "Big Leagues" day

Sunday the 19th was a special day for us.  We loaded up our bicycles and went to meet David and Valentina at his place in south Minneapolis.  It was just a little over a block until we got to an access to the Midtown Greenway Bike trail, which runs parallel to Lake Street.  We rode west past Lake Calhoun and Lake of the Isles, then turned north onto a commuter bike route that took us right to the new Twins ballpark.  This was a really "green" way of getting downtown, and parking was free!
We had purchased some tickets through a group from our church; some 64 tickets for this group.  We didn't know everyone, but saw a lot of familiar faces there.  We couldn't see the ballplayers faces though, since we were in the upper 3 rows, in the upper deck of left field.

Since we don't often get to any ballparks, here are pictures to prove we were really at Target Field:

First our parking area -
 

Then, our group in the stands (David, Valentina, and Paige):

Followed by our view of the playing field.

As it happened, it wasn't the Twins' day, as they lost to Oakland, but we came out ahead by biking there, getting to see the new stadium, and earning an ice cream at Sebastion Joe's to make up for all the exercise.

After that "big outing" the rest of our week was somewhat quiet. 

Paige found a website that lists places that have been shown on Food Network's show "Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives", and we've saved it to our favorites, so we can get to more of them.
We got to the Wienery in Minneapolis last year, and have been going to Gordy's in Cloquet for a long time (it was just shown about a month ago), and two days ago we went to the Modern Cafe in NE Mpls.
We plan to get to more of these interesting places all over the country in the future.
