I have long realized that my list of potential Minnesota adventures (on the left) are sadly outdated. And, with the weather a beautiful 75 degrees outside, I need a new list of fun and exciting things to do while I'm here.
- Complete Learn how to x-country ski (again). It won't be as good as downhill but a reasonable substitute in a state with no mountains.
- Still to Do Go to Canada
- Ummm... partially complete (still need to get to ND & SD) Visit all the adjoining states (ND, SD, WI, IA)
- Still to Do Ride the rollercoasters at Valley Fair
- Complete Bike to Coon Rapids Dam
- Complete Visit Duluth (Not so sure... but everyone says it is fantastic)
- Still to Do See the beginning of the Mississippi River
- Still to Do (not that I have much control over this one) See the Aurora Borealis
- Complete St. Paul Cathedral
- Complete Rent a paddle boat on Lake Calhoun
- Complete Minneapolis Sculpture Garden (Cherry on the Spoon)
- Still to Do Ice Fishing (if I'm here next winter)
- Complete Go to a Broadway Play
- Complete Visit St. Mary's Basilica
- Complete Canoe the Boundary Waters
So, I need to come up with a new list of Minnesota Adventures. Here's the start of the list based on what I haven't done so far and a few new ones:
- Visit Canada, North Dakota, and South Dakota
- See the headwaters of the Mississippi River
- Ride the rollercoasters at Valley Fair
- Ice Fishing (I'm really hoping I'm NOT here next winter)
- Kayak down the Mississippi River
- Visit Paul Bunyon sites
- See a game in the new Twins stadium
- Bike Mississippi River trails
- Spam museum (thanks Camille & Ian for that one)
- James J Hill house museum walk and Summit Ave tour
- Taylor's Falls
- Movie in the park
- Lake Harriet trolley ride
- Split Rock Lighthouse
What am I missing?
