Hubby’s Birthday Weekend Celebration ~Day Three ~It Was All About The Sports

An advantage of staying downtown is that we can walk...
to restaurants, to shops, to Target Field and to the US Bank Stadium.

We left our pickup in the Parking Ramp on Thursday 
and didn’t pick it up until Sunday.

After two evenings at Target Field, 
this morning we had other plans.

But, not before breakfast at one of our 
favorite places, The Keys at the Foshay.

This morning, we were heading to US Bank Stadium 
to cheer on the Vikings.

Nestled amongst the tall buildings downtown 
is the Hennepin County Government Center.

The gardens and fountain are a pleasant surprise 
in between the skyscrapers of steel and cement.


It was our first visit to this impressive venue.

Before going in...there is so much to see! 
The Skol Line could get anyone fired up for the game.

Small groups of the Vikings cheerleaders 
were performing around the exterior and posing with fans.

This little girl will go to sleep dreaming 
about being a professional cheerleader someday!


The Vikings Ship, a great photo prop.


Once inside, an usher 
was taking photos for groups of fans.
We couldn’t pass on that opportunity!

The Vikings Playbook paid tribute to Tony Sparano. 
His family was also honored at the game.

Once again, we had great seats.
I felt like we were part of the game!



After the game, back at our hotel, 
we took in the view from the Foshay Tower 
Observation Deck...

Something hubby has always wanted to do.

For dinner, we shared the Smoked Wings 
and we each ordered our own side salad.
The Beet salad is a favorite of mine.

Hubby always enjoys a good Caesar.

They tasted as delicious as their 
menu description makes them sound!

It was a beautiful evening to walk back to our hotel.

Who thought we’d ever be hungry again?!
But, Sunday morning we couldn’t leave town 
without a trip to Hell’s Kitchen.

And, there was live music.
The man on the left was playing a saw, 
and the lady next to him was playing the washboard...
quite entertaining!

After a plate of Corned Beef Hash, Eggs & Toast, 
and their famous Peanut Butter, 
we were on our way home...and back to reality!

 Happy Birthday, Honey.

Take care,
~Natalie
