Finally got the chance to take my parents to go view the Fall colors up north around the North Shore area of Minnesota. Perfect weekend too as the colors seemed to be at it’s peak in the North Shore!
This past winter holiday season, the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum put on a winter lights show called Winter in Bloom. The fresh fall of snow the day really helped up the experience!
They weren’t kidding about it being spectacular. I didn’t count to see if there were over 5,000 jack-o-lanterns, but there enough of different sizes and designs to keep people of all ages entertained. This was the 2nd year they had this Jack-o-lantern Spectacular at the Minnesota Zoo and for my first time there, I was very impressed!
It was a beautiful, sunny day and I figured since I haven’t been to the Minnesota Zoo since moving to the Twin Cities that I would go spend part of the day there with the girlfriend!
After a long “4th of July” weekend, it all ended with a calm, relaxing Independence Day.
