My many apologies for not blogging sooner! Well, I have a couple of updates. For one, we got our power back! Praise the Lord! And secondly, I am currently on vacation in Minneapolis, Minnesota with my family for my mom's birthday. Really glamorous, right?
Actually Minneapolis is a very urban, yet beautiful city with as many fabulous boutiques (outside of the Mall of America) as gorgeous lakes. My parents lived in Minneapolis for six years during my dad's residency in a neighborhood which they called "Swedish Harlem", while my mom of course worked at Minneapolis's 70's-chic department store, Dayton's, for the discount. I still laugh today at the fact that my mom lit her Dayton's-discounted Gucci bag on fire at a bar when it fell on top of a candle!
In "aging-parent's" tradition, my parents and I did something extremely juvenile for my mom's birthday: We went mini golfing. No, no, we didn't zoom on down to the local Putt Putt! The renowned Minneapolis modern art museum, the Walker, featured "Walker on the Green: Artist-Designed Mini-Golf". Local as well as international artists and designers were called upon to fabricate challenging mini golf holes (below).
Sure, it was a little corny, but totally fun! So often we take for granted spending time with our family. It turns out that turning off your phone, going on a family road trip and getting away from the craziness of your social circle, along with some retail therapy can really do you and your closet good!

ooooh, I love mini golf! I really like your picture with all the ropes, and that golf course does look rather amazing.
I always wanted to see Mall of America. I heard there was a roller coaster there! I was born in Minnesota, but I haven't been back there since I was like 2 months old :)
Thank you for the comments dolls!
