She came into town on Friday evening and we planned on dinner at a new restaurant in Stillwater called REVE 324. It just opened on Main St in Stillwater so we wanted to check it out. So, we went over there and they were closed. Friday night at 7:30, and closed. Hmmm. So we went back to Hudson to our old staple Barker's, mom has never been there.
On Saturday we had a big day planned. We were going to go to the Farmer's Market in the morning, watch the Gopher Football game, and then head downtown Mpls for dinner and a show.
Instead of the Farmer's Market, we went to Rosemount to my brother's to take care of my mom's car, which had broken down. She got a new one and is very excited about it. She is rolling around now in a Nissan Murano and the Chevy Impala is getting fixed and will be for sale after that. We got the Impala towed to a dealership for repair and then headed home for the Gopher game. Nicole went to the Farmer's market while we took care of the car.
The Gopher game needs no explanation here.
After the game, we got some therapy from Nicole for our broken hearts and then headed downtown for an evening on the town. We started with a walk on the Stone Arch Bridge on a beautiful afternoon. Then we went to Seven for a glass of wine and some sushi on their rooftop, a great setting overlooking Hennepin Ave and the city. After that we had dinner at D'Amico Kitchen, which is in the Chambers Hotel. Dinner was great and we had some very good wines (never can pronounce the Italian wines though). After dinner we went across the street to the Orpheum Theatre for the show Wicked. It was very long with lots of singing and dancing. Nicole and mom enjoyed it very much (or so they said). I was hot and had to go to the bathroom for most of it, but I got through it. I like plays better than musicals but I do notice the talent and the singers were unbelievably talented. It was a great day!
