Wedding in Minneapolis

Wow! It's been 4 weeks since I added anything to this blog. Time just seemd to slip by. Two weeks after Ashley's graduation in Virginia, my niece, Adriana, got married in Minneapolis. I was barely home from one event before it was time to leave for the next one. But the travel was worth it. I don't usually get to see my nieces and brother this often in the same year.

Adriana, as you can see, was a most beautiful bride. She planned the wedding and reception herself, and it was a stylish and elegant affair. Her new husband, Drew, is in the Marines, and Adriana is a 1st lieutenant in the army. They don't have much time together before she has to report for duty in Oklahoma. My two other nieces are at the top left and bottom right of this photo.

My brother is oh so proud of Adriana and she adores him.
The reception was at The Depot, now a hotel, but once a
main train stop on the "Milwaukee Road"

Since our flight didn't leave until 5pm, my sister and I took a taxi to a sculpture garden that I had read about before leaving. This is the most well known of the sculptures, "Cherry on a Spoon"
