When you first arrive at the Bakken Museum you might just think you're at the wrong place. It's a gorgeous 1920s mansion, one of those buildings you look at and immediately think "it's gotta be haunted, right?" Am I the only one that assumes all swanky old homes are haunted? Anyway, it's definitely not a boring museum. It's actually a really great modern and interactive ...

The Bulldog, Lowertown St. Paul MN
We found The Bulldog after a bit of research on our last night in St. Paul and decided to go there for dinner. It is located in an area called Lowertown which sounds really cool and makes us think of Dragon Age! I guess you could call it a brew pub, they do have one of their own house beers as well as a huge selection of local craft beers. It is definitely more of a pub with ...
Herbie’s on the Park, St. Paul MN
Like I said before we plan our trips around our meals but sometimes things don’t quite work out the way we plan and we get a pleasant surprise. After driving to Minneapolis from St. Paul where we were going to try Revival, finding out it was a 3 hour wait, calling Night Hawks, finding out it was an hour wait, we ended up back in St. Paul a few blocks from our hotel and had ...
Big River Pizza, St. Paul MN
We are such foodies that when we go on vacation our whole trip usually revolves around where we are going to eat. Yes we map out and plan every meal so we can enjoy the best foods an area has to offer. It is not very often that we just wing it for meals but this time we are definitely glad that we did. We happened to see Big River Pizza as we were driving by on the way back to ...
The Rabbit Hole, Minneapolis MN
Falling down the rabbit hole is definitely a good description for what it feels like to walk through the doors of The Rabbit Hole restaurant. It is a bit dark but still friendly and there is a wonderful aroma from the Gyopo Korean cuisine. The servers station has an archway made of books above it and there is definitely an Alice in Wonderland feel to some of the aspects in this ...
Surly Brewing Co. Beer Hall and Restaurant, Minneapolis MN
As we follow our GPS deeper into what looks like a very industrial area with warehouses and somewhat dilapidated roads and old buildings, we cross a set of railroad tracks and there it is. A beautifully built and very modern looking place with a giant rhino of rebar and concrete to greet you. This modern architectural beauty shines like a black star amongst the rest of the ...
Bell Museum of Natural History – Minneapolis, Minnesota
We're visiting the twin cities this week, we're staying at the Hyatt Place in Downtown Saint Paul, and it's amazing, we booked the room for a steal on Expedia. and our very first stop was the Bell Museum of Natural History in Minneapolis, Minnesota. First of all, this museum is right in the middle of the University of Michigan campus, actually it's a part of the campus, as in, ...
