Hubby’s Birthday Weekend ~How We Celebrated ~Day Two

Our hotel was only a block off of Nicollet Mall...

such a good location for good eats and good shopping.

Can you guess who’s my 

favorite person to shop for?!

There are so many photo opportunities.

With Harmon Killibrew is a good place 

to pose outside of Target Field.

Once inside the stadium,

another fan offered to take our photo here.

(Minnesota Nice)

We shopped here, too.

Hubby didn’t think he’d wear this.

Twins legend, Tony Oliva was there greeting fans, 

shaking hands, and posing for photos.

Again, it was a beautiful night for baseball.

We had great seats!

We took our “seventh inning stretch” seriously, 

and walked the perimeter of the stadium.

Bonus!

There are fireworks on Friday Nights at the Ballpark.

There’s no better way to spend a day!

Take care,

~Natalie

Cats just don't get the "time change"...

I tried to tell them that I get an extra hour this morning...but they were persistent in getting their breakfast according to their "clock".
But of course, after breakfast they can just nap the day away...

Wouldn't you just love to be a house cat for just one day?!
