Most of the animals had been removed from their exhibits because of the heat.

Breakfast at The Dolly Down

Fargo, ND

If you get to, or going through, Fargo ND stop at the Petro and grab a bite at the Dolly Down Grill. The food is pretty good.

Minnehaha Falls Minneapolis, MN

Minnehaha Falls: A Popular Tourist Attraction in Minneapolis

Minnehaha Falls is a 53-foot waterfall located in Minnehaha Park in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The falls are a popular tourist attraction, with over 850,000 visitors per year, and are featured on the state's license plates.

The falls are located on Minnehaha Creek, which flows from Minnehaha Park to the Mississippi River. The park itself is a popular destination for picnics, walks, and other outdoor activities, and features a number of trails, a public golf course, and a small zoo.

The falls themselves are a beautiful natural feature, with water cascading over a series of rock ledges. In the summer, the falls are a popular spot for swimming, with a sandy beach area at the base of the falls. The falls are surrounded by a lush forested area, with a variety of trees and plants providing a picturesque backdrop.

In addition to its natural beauty, Minnehaha Falls has a rich cultural history. The falls were named by the Dakota Sioux, who called it "Minnehaha," meaning "laughing water." The falls were also featured in Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's 1855 poem "The Song of Hiawatha," which helped to popularize the falls and bring tourists to the area.

Today, Minnehaha Falls is a popular destination for tourists and locals alike, with a variety of events and activities happening throughout the year. In the summer, you can find live music, food vendors, and other entertainment at the falls. In the winter, the falls freeze over, creating a beautiful and unique natural feature.

No matter what time of year it is, Minnehaha Falls is a must-see destination for anyone visiting Minneapolis. Whether you're looking for a peaceful walk in nature or a fun and festive event, the falls have something for everyone.

The Mary Tyler Moore Show is one of Sarah’s favorites, so we couldn’t visit Minneapolis without stopping by...

This is where Sarah fell in love with Minneapolis. The progressivism and diversity lit the spark. Seeing our friends certainly helped. But this — a bird sanctuary in the middle of the city — is where she fell in love. (Unfortunately, I had an allergy attack, and we had to leave.)

This is the northernmost zoo that we’ve ever been to, and it was surprising to see animals that we had never seen up close before — snow monkeys and moose and Russian bears. (I don’t quite remember what dholes are. We were too busy calling them “d-holes” and then giggling about it.)

At this point, we’ve been to children’s museums in four different states, and this one was pretty good. So much stuff to do, we didn’t have time to get to it all.

The Bell Museum had a lot of interactive exhibits that our three-year-old loved. And it had a pond with frogs — some as small as a fingernail.
