Visit to State Capitol and Sculpture Garden

Parents were not jet lagged just tired the 1st day and then they were back to normal. Sunday 11th May we decided to take them Downtown Minneapolis.

After lunch we left home by 12:30, our first stop was State Capitol, the building has a very beautiful architecture and we walked all 3 floors and admired the beauty of the building. kids were running everywhere around. From there we visited the Cathedral. it was so peacful and calm and very beautiful. We lighted some candles and then went to the MN History Center Museum. G did not want to come and we somehow thought it is a free Sunday event and we all went without taking any cash.
When we entered we realized it it not free but being Mother's day all Mother's could visit free. Poor Dad had to wait outside, while we went and explored the different sections. Again there were lots of thinks for kids to play around and hence P&R had a great time. We left at 3:30 and then went to Sculpture garden which is very famous for the Spoon & Cherry sculpture created there.

There are various other sculptures and the weather being nice, it was great to just walk around. We clicked lots of pictures and then returned home by 6pm.

Pics to be put up soon.

And they are here

My family has arrived from India for a vacation. yooohooooooooo
They did have a scare when they reached the airport and were informed that their flight was cancelled. It seems the Air france had a scheduled cancellation adn send us sms but we never received any message of that sort.

They came to know only when they reached the airport, luckily there was seats in the Delta airlines which infact left earlier at 1 instead of thier scheduled 2 am and they reached here an hour earlier. So everything does happen for the Best.

Thier flight landed at 12:15 pm, we left home after their flight landed, picked up some hoaggies from Davanni and reached airport, had lunch and when we were done they all came out. After hugs we got into the car and reached home.

Then we got to eat some yummy chakadda(jackfruit)/cake (made by mom)
Kids started playing/fighting with each other. After they got fresh they were tired and felt sleepy , in the meanwhile me and G went to Costco and Indian Store.
Returned home, made dosa/ ridgegourd chutney and ended with some rice and curd.

Night all rested well.
