Peg, Colleen, and Philip over St. Anthony Falls

Two weekends ago Colleen and I took my mom on a Segway tour of Minneapolis as an early birthday present (You can’t Segway in late November!). The tour was led by Human on a Stick, and lasted about 3 hours. We got to ride around the banks of the Mississippi and took a stop off at the Mill City Museum, which has ties to General Mills. Segways are a lot of fun to drive, and about half-way through the tour they had us swap out the keys to increase the top speed to 8mph. I almost wiped out a couple times when I was messing around by taking turns too sharply.

Last weekend we celebrated Brian’s 27th birthday here in Minneapolis. He brought his new Guitar Hero Rock the 80’s with him and we played that for several hours. The weather was wonderful so we spent some time walking around our neighborhood and looking at houses and condos.
