We had an awesome time at the game, St Louis Rams vs Vikings and even though they were out off the play off and... they get their butts kick, it was a cool experience with 56000 fans roaring the roof off "SKOL VIKINGS"

We really wanted to see some of the sites and sounds like take a horse drawn carriage ride through down town, check out the Riverfront District with the Locks and the Mississippi River but as the rain turned into ice and snow the city was at a stand still, it was the first real hit of snow for them so it was crazy driving weather. I would definitely love to come back and see this place in the summer as we are told and from what we could see it would be very lush. Plus I am sure I must of missed a few stores in the mall that I didn't get to see. The people seemed friendly and we had no problems what so ever | ||
