Late yesterday evening, one of those terrific, brief but hard summer rains came through, and not long after it did, the heat broke. Knowing it would be a beautiful morning, Ted hatched a plan to pile into the car first thing--in our pajamas--and drive around some of the nearby lakes before having breakfast out. Fans, what a lovely lake viewing adventure we had!
We passed by the fishing pier at Lake Calhoun which remind us of how excited we are for Aunt Kate, Uncle Scott, and Cousin Nick's State Visit later this summer. We told Joe that undoubtedly he'd be able to fish with Uncle Scott, right off that pier. Joe allowed that Uncle Scott could sit "where the bags are"--by which he meant between the car seats in the backseat. (Aunt Kate will have to go "in her car.")
We wound up our adventure at Rustica*, which we learned is practically empty in the first hour it's open for business. Joe promptly accidentally pulled down the cafe curtains strung up on a tension rod, but otherwise, both bambini had their best restaurant behavior on display.
*Featured in a piece in this month's Food & Wine--!!!!! (For all the other Food & Wine readers out there.) Minneapolis is so often overlooked in the pages of this magazine but this month, it got a whole feature!
I am glad to know that I have moved up a row, the trunk was a tough ride. All of my hard work is paying off. Cant wait to see them.
