This is taken from a look-out place 177 steps up above Willow Falls. You can't really tell how pretty the view was, so have to take our word for it!
Here's a statue of Mary Tyler Moore throwing her hat in the air in downtown Minneapolis. If you're younger than I am you probably don't remember the Mary Tyler Moore Show though. We had people walk by snickering as we took this picture.
Willow Falls from the bridge.
We kind of liked Willow Falls! Sorry all the pictures just have us in them.
This is Willow Lake. It's in Wisconsin, but only about a 40 minute drive from Minneapolis. There were very few people there that day, probably because it was very cold. The cold weather actually worked to our advantage at the outdoor places we visited, since there were no crowds at all!
Charles at the Como Zoo.
At least we got to see a riverboat! They were closed for the season so we didn't get to go on a ride.
We crossed over this bridge on foot to St. Paul. It was so cold we had to go warm up in the Crown Plaza Hotel on the other side.
A view of St. Paul on the other side of the Mississippi River.

Looks like you had a good time! It must be nice to get out and do something different.
