We've recently put Theo on a schedule.  Basically so we can get him out of the house. If it was up to him he'd just play video games all day, every day. Wednesdays we have named Walk Wednesday. Last week we went to the T.S Roberts Bird Sanctuary and Theo kept saying he wanted to go to the cemetery. So, we biked to the Lakewood Cemetery. The cemetery has a brochure of all the notable gravestones. Of course Mr. Loring, father of the park system, had a big one.   Hey, there's the historic street car driving by.

The downstairs was craftsman while the upstairs had art deco features. The house was converted to an up-down duplex at some point. Then we saw a few Victorians on Fremont in Old Highland. This house had so many coats of paint. Meadow's favorite parts were the stairs. The next house had an awesome arch. They will be taking off the siding this summer to reveal the original clapboard. The next house was the one I was most excited to see. It was originally built for the Donaldson's that owned a giant department store in downtown Minneapolis. That department store turned into a regional powerhouse that lasted until 1987. ...
