Super Bowl Comes to The Bold North - 10 Days of Celebration

Minneapolis hosted the Super Bowl this year. It was an epic 10 days in Minnesota. While the temperatures were unusually cold for the 10 days, we embraced this unique opportunity and I was proud to live in this town. It was so cool to see the Minnesota rise to the occasion and we tried to make the most of the festivities happening in and around town....

Day 1 - Opening Ceremonies on Nicollet Mall....
Ron and Trisha came downtown for the first night of the celebration. It was a balmy night in the 20s and we were able to take the bus in and out of town to make it easy. Nicollet Mall was transformed into a street full of Instagrammable photos and activities to keep all entertained...
