Vacation with the Family

Hi Everyone,
I can't believe that it is July already! This summer is just flying by! I have been traveling a lot in the past few weeks and I wanted to share with everyone my adventures along the way. On June 30-July 2 Grant and I spent a weekend vacationing in the Twin Cities with my family.
We started out Saturday by going to Stillwater, MN to go to the local brewery- Lift Bridge Brewery. I picked a brewery tour as part of the weekend, because growing up my family and I went to the Coors and Budweiser breweries. It was a small company but they give great tours and the best part is it is free to have a tour. I will definitely take friends there when they visit. On Saturday night we went to the Twins game vs. the Royals. The Twins is my favorite baseball team and it was fun going to a game with my family. The Twins ended up winning which is a big deal since they are having a rough season.
On Sunday we spent the day at the Mall of America. We spent the afternoon looking around, eating, and I got my dad to go on the log ride with me:) (It is a tradition) On Monday we spent the afternoon at the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden and went to my family member's house for dinner.
While we were there we stayed with my dad's great uncle Ray. It was nice being able to stay with him and to catch up on what is new in his life. His cat is usually not friendly to people, but I had a lot of fun petting and brushing his fur. I am not usually a cat person either so it was good for both of us:)
It was a fun time of being with my family and showing them the city that I will be moving to shortly.
Enjoy the pictures!
