If you haven't explored the Grand Rounds in Minneapolis, put it on your list of "must-do's" this summer. The Grand Rounds are 50 miles of paved bike and walking paths that essentialy make a circle around the city. There are seven by-way districts; i) dowtown/riverfront, ii) the Mississippi River, iii) Minnehaha, iv) Chain of Lakes, v) Theodore Wirth, vi) Victory Memorial, and vii) Northeast.
Who needs to go up north when we have so much green space right in our backyards? Ask anyone who just got back from a vacation near water and they'll tell you--water has restorative properties. Save your money on air fare and get out and enjoy what Minneapolis has to offer you!
Feeling inspired, I got out and took some pictures of the Minnehaha district of the Grand Rounds which includes the Minnehaha Creek, Lake Nokomis and Lake Hiawatha. Lake Nokomis is literally in my backyard, so of course is the Minneapolis Lake I consider to be "my lake". These pictures can't capture the energy that's in the air in Minneapolis when we finally get to come out of hibernation. This spring weather is going to make this year particularly memorable.
