The weather here has been unseasonably warm, so Griffin and I have been trying to spend as much time outside as possible. I don’t anticipate we’ll hunker down and never go outside again once it starts getting colder, but when it’s cold, you don’t always have the luxury of being leisurely. Today, I thought there was no better place to luxuriate in leisure than the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden, located next to the Walker Art Center in downtown Minneapolis. It’s only about a ten or fifteen minute drive from our place in St. Paul, and to my knowledge, Griffin had never been exposed to gigantic pieces of art, so I was curious to see what he would think.

Of course, he loved it. I’ll have to wait until he can talk so that he can give me his critiques of the pieces, but judging by his giddiness and excitement, I think it’s going to be a favorite destination. And it’s a good thing we went when we did. As soon as we hopped in the car to go home, a storm swept in and dropped the temperature by about thirty degrees!
