MINNEAPOLIS

Hey! Last weekend my family and I went on a little road trip to Minneapolis, Minnesota. We spent one night in Duluth. The trip to Duluth takes about 2 and 1/2 hours and from there to Minneapolis another 3 hours.  When we were in Duluth we went to a really cool train museum and they had tons of trains there, sadly I didn't get any pictures. After a big breakfast at the hotel, we set off, in the car I watched some Anne with an E, and me and my brother did some Mad-libs! We went to Minneapolis last year in the spring to see a baseball game but for some reason, I forgot how big it was. The buildings were so tall! When we got to our hotel room ( the Raddison Red ) there was a big projector in the lobby with pictures of people, we later found out it was a photo booth where you could take a selfie and it would be up there! Once we got settled in, we kinda just chilled in the hotel room for the rest of the day, it had been a long day.

In the morning we took the light rail, greenline to St.Paul, to get to the Science Museum of Minnesota! Once we walked in there was a ton of original star wars mini-figures! It was super cool.
The first exhibit was really cool too, there was a huge astronaut that filled up all 3 levels and you could take a picture of your face and put it into the helmet!!! There was a lot of rocks and things on that level and even a 2 headed turtle! The next level was a lot of medical stuff including a see how much blood you have and it even squirted fake blood into a jar to show you...gross. We then went down to the lowest level to have lunch, I had a mini cheese pizza it being national cheese pizza day! That floor was probably my favorite, it had tons of sports things. One experiment station had a kinda fan thing that looked like a canon. You put a ball onto it and it lifted up the ball then you moved the canon and the ball was trapped in the airflow in strage spots that I would not have expected. I had a lot of fun with that! After a quick stop at the gift shop, we took the train back.
That night we went out for dinner at the Zen Box Japanese restaurant, we ate there last time and really enjoyed it, and enjoyed it all over again! Then we went back to the hotel to get ready for the concert! We took an Uber there!!! When we got there, there were sooooooo many people, one of the workers told us that general admission is around the block!!! And it was, there were so many people! When we got in after a long time of waiting, my mom and I tried to get a good place in the crowd, after about 20 minutes, an opening act came on for about 45 minutes. After that they made us wait for another half an hour. Then her music started playing, I could barely hear it over everyone saying "We want Grace!!!" Then she came on Grace Vanderwaal!!!!!!!!!! She did a really good job and played all of her good songs, my throat was sore later from signing to loudly. I really enjoyed the concert, and after it, I got a t-shirt with Ur So Beautiful Tour on it!!! I also go a poster for me and a friend, who I wish was there with me!!!

When we got back to the hotel room it was around 10:30, and I board my brother and Dad soo much talking about the concert!
The next day we went to the Rennaissance Festival! That was super fun too, we got a pickle from the pickle shop and an "I'm kinda a big dill" badge! There were acro performers, and jousting, dad tried the strongest person hammer thingy and came within inches of the bell! I wanted to try a game too, so I did the wobbly ladder but told Dad I wouldn't do it if he didn't, so he did it was super funny! And I had lots of fun doing it too! I also found a Hufflepuff knitted toque! I"ve been wanting one for a long time. Overall I'd highly recommend this weird festival!!!
The next day we went to the "MIA" (The Minneapolis Institute of Art") it was raining, so it was fun to be in the museum! When we walked in there was an origami class going on so I made a duck! The museum was really cool, and had a mix of modern and historical art and objects! There was also a sketch a live bird, with real birds like owls and things but I didn't do it. There was also a painting of a woman with a pet squirrel.
Also, the Viking game was that day so there was a lot of purple!
We left the next day in the morning and I was sad to leave, I had a really fun time on that trip with my family.
