Falling in Love with St. Paul
No, not in a priestly way, but a way that transcends logic and consciousness, well OK maybe in a priestly way.
First stop, the St. Paul Hotel. Top rate and even advertised in the Northwest Airlines in-flight magazine.
Their restaurant is rated best in St. Paul, so we had dinner there after a long day of working, traveling, and sleep deprivation. Needless to say, the food, service, and environment were top notch.
All rested up and time to go to the wedding of Kerry Jane and Gordon. Was a very inspiring service and had a cute couple to boot. Best wishes KJ&G!
Reception was held at the 317 on Rice Park. This historic place definitely takes the "wedding" cake in style, so to speak.
Couple of brain cells later, it is time to get up and meet my sister and her husband for lunch.
We finally decide on the Great Waters Brewing Company. Comforting grilled cheese and wild rice chicken soup for everyone. My family left on their merry way so was time to go on an adventure.
Hmmmm, I wonder where this bridge goes? (Not that one, looking across from another one.)
What is this? Some sort of Irish festival?
St. Paul skyline as seen from the park.
My aforementioned friend Jerilyn (Keep smiling :) ).
Some naughty song singing Irishmen.
Back across the bridge and back to the hotel to get our bearings. Where next? The capitol of course!
I make a cameo in this shot.
Onwards to the St. Paul Cathedral! This place was amazing! As you can maybe tell, the entire place is built out of pure granite and marble (and travertine)! Completely awe inspiring on the inside and out! (!!!)
Some stained glass windows. Apparently they like the guy in the middle.
Lots of other stories to tell, but they are not rated for the digital world.
PS, all pictures taken by me were uploaded at full 1600 resolution, so just *click* on them to see all the pixelated goodness.

I like Jerilyn's earrings. ;)
Nice pictures and a nice summary of a fun weekend. Glad you both made it back safe and sound.
It was a very fun trip! Hope to see you soon.
great wrapup of a wonderful st. paul weekend that i missed.
who is the guy in the middle?
OK. Forget I asked, now that it is a week later and Quantum Void does not read or respond to his own blog.
Even so, here's another one. If there is a guy in the middle, then there just might be one or more to the right and one or more to the left. Yes?
If the answer is yes, then who are they?
... OK. forget I asked ... It is now December 28, 2087 and I am 146 years old and still have not received an answer from Quantum Void. I give up.
I think it's John Lennon, Paul McCartney, and Ringo Starr.
thanks.
and now i know the origin of the trinitarian doctrine. the doctrine will have to be backdated a bit, but other than that it fits. all that matters is that there were/are three. right?
