Weekend in Minnesota

Dahlia's mom had travel to Minneapolis for work, so Dahlia and her dad flew up a day later to join her for a long weekend in Minnesota.

After exploring downtown Minneapolis, Dahlia and her parents tried the "mini-golf" course at the Walker Arts Center. The golf course was designed by artists and was quite unusual (to say the least).

Dahlia checking out the second hole:


The third hole was impossible:


Taking a break with mom before a pinball-style hole:



"Stop it, Daddy! You're embarassing me!"


Dahlia was not impressed by the famous cherry and spoon sculpture:



After enjoying some art, the next stop was every girl's dream -- the Mall of America, the largest enclosed mall in the United States!

Dahlia especially enjoyed Legoland. While other kids built things with the Legos, Dahlia taste-tested them and sat in the bin that was meant to be a Lego container.



Camp Nickelodeon is at the center of the Mall of America. Dahlia enjoyed watching the roller coaster but settled for a tamer ride on the merry-go-round. This time she rode a horse!



Finally, she settled in at the house of her hosts, the Liens. Dahlia loved using their daughter's toys (thank you, Maren!), giggling as she rode her Dora the Explorer toy all around the house.
