This year for Mother’s Day our first stop was the “Art in Bloom” installation at the Minneapolis Institute of Art in Minneapolis Minnesota. It was such a treat to see all of the gorgeous art and flowers. It was SO busy, and we had a difficult time finding parking, but ultimately it was worth it.…

We’ve been getting out more since the weather has gotten nicer, and we’ve been trying new restaurants. I’m always excited to try places with vegan options, so we decided to check out Town Hall Station in Edina, MN.
