9th floor of the guthrie theater

Whenever we have out of town guests, Kev and I like to take them to the Guthrie Theater in Minneapolis to show them the amazing view from the cantilever bridge. Standing out on that beautiful bridge you can take in the Stone Arch Bridge, the new 35W bridge, the old mill ruins, the Gold Medal Flour sign, and some of downtown.

Last month, when our good friend, Germán, was here from Portland, OR for business, we discovered that there is another amazing view to take in at the Guthrie - from the observation room on the 9th floor. The room has wall-to-wall yellow-tinted windows and offers a really spectacular panorama of the city. It also offers an opportunity to take some pretty cool silhouette photos. Case in point:

That's Kevin and me doing some mock-fighting. Awesome, yes? Here's one of Germán and me (notice that I am always the one kicking butt?).

It was so good to see Germán, and Kevin and I are super excited about seeing him and Sarah in Portland this summer (yep - we're planning a super duper "Travels with Charley" style summer road trip!), and then again in Orlando in November for Nicole and Ryan's wedding. What a great year this is shaping up to be! Also, how prolific I am turning out to be today (I even posted on the book blog I am part of). Yeah, baby, I am BACK!
