I am feeling pretty high on my horse today, fresh off a most excellent weekend.
For Father’s Day I pulled out most of the stops for a fun ‘n’ food filled weekend for hubs and I.
First up was the Twins/Cubs game. My husband is originally from Chicago and the Cubs were totally his team for forever. It was fun to see him at the game and catch a glimpse of the 8-year old boy inside of him who still loves the Cubbies.
Next up we headed down to the Millennium Hotel, within walking distance of the ballpark. Checked in, went up to our room, opened the door….aaaaaaand OH MY GOSH THERE ARE STILL PEOPLE IN THIS ROOM.
Fortunately they weren’t home. Got a new (vacant) room and opened up the bottle of wiiiiiiine.
We walked over to dinner at Butcher and the Boar, where neither of us had been. The wait for an inside table was hours, but we could seat ourselves in their cool back patio area. Done deal. I ordered a cheddarwurst sandwich and my husband got some kind of spicy sausage on a bun loaded with peppers and melty cheese. Maybe it was in part because I was super hungry, but this meal was totally delish, and the skyline views and beautiful weather just made it all-around perfect.
Don’t worry about all the cholesterol that I downed. The red wine’ll fix it.
After dinner, my husband was a good sport and took a picture of my lame-o self trying to look cute and artsy in front of a brick wall.
We headed over to Lunds & Byerly’s to get some take-home desserts, and play with pop. At least one of us found our name.
Don’t worry about me buying the calorie bomb “Killer Brownie.” The red wine’ll fix it.
Like true adults, we vegged out and watched golf on cable.
If it helps me justify that, we don’t get cable at home.
You’re still judging.
In the morning we got super awesome room service, compliments of the hotel after the room mix up.
Here’s me trying to look cute & fresh despite having a roasted baby potato crammed in my pie hole.
We then went for a jog over to the sculpture garden, then showered and headed just 2 miles away to the Minneapolis Farmer’s Market.
All the cheeses. All the oils. All the produce. All the lemonade and limeade.
Don’t worry about all the sugar in that lemonade. The red wine’ll…um…forget it.
And fresh picked strawberries. Look at those bright gems..
We picked up Baby Guy and headed over to my in-laws’ lake home where we capped the day off with swimming and floating.
Perfect weekend, perfect Father's Day.
Stay tuned ‘cause this week I’m going to do some actual cooking and do more than just post pics of me thinking I’m being interesting. How’s that for a draw?
