Minneapolis Getaway

Adam and I got our first time away from kids in...well, since we started having them. :) Nana Mary was kind enough to watch the little ones while we went to Minneapolis to celebrate Aaron and Corinne's wedding. Everything about the vacation was just perfect.
The Bell brothers and sisters! Aren't they all gorgeous?! Especially the bearded one. ;) I promise he's not a terrorist. Sadly, we were missing two brothers. Andrew got in a car accident on the way to the airport to come out and Ames has one more month in Japan on his mission. He'll be home soon, yay!
Everything about the wedding went flawlessly. Corinne is amazing! She looked like an angel. The wedding parties started with a rehearsal dinner Friday night at her mom's house. It was nice relaxing evening where we all just got to get to know each other.

Saturday was the big day. We took pictures, then headed into the beautiful Women's club to take our seats for the big event. Aaron and Corinne did a great job making everyone cry. Especially, when they showed a slide show featuring the bride and groom through the years.

The food through this whole experience was amazing. Brie and raspberry filled pastries, shrimp cocktail, bacon wrapped macadamia nuts, filet mignon, oh...the list goes on. The day after, some of Corinne's friends threw her a Brunch. Did I mention that one of them was a gourmet chef? I'm still working off the pounds I gained that weekend.

Here is a pic of me at the sculpture garden with the spoon and the cherry water fountain.
We did manage to do a little (or a lot) sight-seeing while we were there. If you want the complete tour of Minneapolis, you'll have to check out Aubry's blog She included all the details I failed to remember. :) There's more pics over there, too.
Here is me and Adam and Minnehaha Falls.
