Canyon's "APUSH" class was having a field trip to visit Stone Arch Bridge, James J. Hill House, the St. Paul Cathedral, the newly renovated Capitol and Grand Avenue in St. Paul for lunch. They needed parent chaperones for the trip. Much to Canyon's dismay, I signed up to chaperone with one my friends (another Mom) :). This was a super easy and fun field trip to chaperone because all of these kids are responsible and we just got to go along for the ride (they had us on separate buses from our kids). It was like our own personal tour that ended in a fun lunch. Here are a couple of pics from the day....
Standing underneath Stone Arch Bridge. Stone Arch Bridge, a former railroad bridge crossing the Mississippi River at Saint Anthony Falls in downtown Minneapolis. It was built by railroad tycoon James J. Hill for his Great Northern Railway. It is the only arched bridge made of stone on the entire length of the Mississippi River. Today it is a pedestrian and bicycle bridge.
Standing outside the James J. Hill house (see Canyon avoiding Mom)...
The 3 "APUSH" classes outside the St. Paul Cathedral, overlooking downtown St. Paul. The cathedral is the 3rd largest church in the US.
