More of the trip and more Stamp Along cards

After lunch at Moscow on the hill, we got back on the bus. What a nice bus, it was! It even had Wifi! 
We had a small group, just enough so it wasn't cancelled, so we each had a double seat to ourselves. 
Way to travel!



Next was St. Paul's Cathedral.
What a magnificent place of worship.



We had a short talk about the history of the church but the gal's mic wasn't working real well and they had some cleaning/renovation going on in the back so it was difficult to hear real well.
After the intro, we did a walking tour. I couldn't believe how many side altars and shrines were in there. Every time we went around a corner, there was another altar or shrine!


Next, we walked across the street and visited the James J Hill house.
We did get to see many of the fabulous houses mentioned on this Plaque.



This is the entry way and is only an indication of the rest of the house!



If you want to see more of these places, just ask to see my pictures at the Stamp Along.
I would be glad to let you see them.

Next stop was The Forshy Building where we had a little reception.
We had crackers and cheese, shrimp and dips, and coupons for two drinks.
I had the Dragon Mist on the left and Nancy had the Spring Fling.
Mine was streaming when it came. We found out that it was dry ice fused to the bottom of the glass that made it so impressive. It didn't taste as good as it looked!



We stopped at Minnehaha Falls and had time to walk around. Very nice place and there were several school groups there for their "end of the year" field trip. Brought back lots of memories.





Back on the bus and more of the sights of the Twin Cities.
This is the Frederick K Weisman Art Center.



The University of Minnesota.



Next stop was the Guthrie Theater.
They have an Amber Room where the floor has a glass floor so you can see straight down from, I think, the eighteenth floor.
No, I didn't stand on that square!
I am not sure what the meaning of the amber coloring is but it does give the world a different look!
That is Pam and Nancy standing on the glass floor.



They had a very fancy bathroom there.
This is the line of sinks. If you run real fast, you can make the water run in all of them.
Just sayin'.

 

They also had an elevator that you could use for several floors.
Of course, I had to do that, too!



Supper was at Psycho Suzi's.
Quite the place!

 

Photo op in the lobby.



Then we stopped to see the Mary Tyler Moore statue.
I did post this on FaceBook in case you missed it there.
Yes, that is my hat up there.





Back to the hotel where we played games into the night.
I was lucky and won the Left, Right, Center game.
The next morning we had breakfast at the hotel and then the long ride home.
We did a few stretch your legs stops and a meal before we got back to Milwaukee.

I hope that you enjoyed my recount of the trip.


Now, here are a few more of the cards for the Stamp Along.

This one features the tricky move of having the tree move from the front of the card to the inside.
It isn't difficult to make though.


This one is for any event that is the beginning of a new adventure.
Birthday, retirement, graduation, or almost anything could be a good time to use this card.
It features an different fold also. You may remember the fold from one of the Panda cards!



Of course, there are thinking of you cards!
I should be sending some of these!



I hope to see you on Monday at the library!
There will be a catalog for you at the library if you haven't gotten one yet.

The hostess code for this month is:
YC4SSKSV
Thank you to all of my on line customers! 
I appreciate you so much. 


If you need a catalog, please let me know and I will get one to you. 

Don't forget to comment so I know you are there. 
Thank you!
