9 Family Fun Events This Weekend in the Chicago Burbs

Big weekend ahead in the Chicago suburbs with Valentine's Day and President's Day! Here are my picks for family weekend fun:

Olbrich Botanical Gardens in Madison, Wisconsin: Winding Paths of Introspection

Olbrich Botanical Gardens and Bolz Conservatory in Madison, Wisconsin: Winding Paths of Introspection

During our recent trip to Madison, Wisconsin, we were blessed with nice weather rather unexpectedly. So, we joyfully added a nature jaunt to Olbrich Botanical Gardens to our trip. Visiting in late December, I was quite surprised that we could truly enjoy the outdoor trails but we did!

9 Chicago Suburban Family Fun Events for the Weekend

The weekend is around the corner and there are plenty of family fun events to look forward here in the Chicago suburbs! Here are my picks:

Mill City Museum: Flour Mill History, Mississippi River and City Views and a Fabulous Gift Shop

Mill City Museum: Flour Mill History, Mississippi River and City Views and a Fabulous Gift Shop

Flour mills are an integral part of Minneapolis history. A visit to the Mill City Museum unfolds the history of flour milling in Minneapolis. The museum is housed in the old Washburn A Mill and furnishes an opportunity to see ruins of a mill fire of a neighboring mill.

Weekend Windup {8 for the Weekend and Groundhog Day!}

My favorite family fun events for you to check out this weekend in Chicago suburbia:

Ingebretsen's: A Slice of Scandinavia in Minneapolis

Ingerbretsen's: A Slice of Scandinavia in Minneapolis

Ingebretsen's Nordic Marketplace has been treating Minneapolis to a slice of Scandinavia since 1921. If you have been reading awhile, you know that I love all things Scandinavia. I guess I am Danish....so it makes sense! I definitely had to make it to Ingebretsen's on our recent trip to Minneapolis.

Wednesday Weekend Windup {7 for the Weekend}

We are heading to the weekend! Here are few fun events to plan for:

Russian Art and History Intrigue at The Museum of Russian Art in Minneapolis

Russian Art and History Intrigue at The Museum of Russian Art in Minneapolis

The Museum of Russian Art in Minneapolis opened up to us quite the treasure trove of Russian and Soviet art on exhibit. None of us were too familiar with Russian art, so we were really unsure of what to expect. After leaving, I can say that The Museum of Russian Art is one of our favorite museums. We loved the art and the layout! We also learned so much!
