1. It has one of the highest literacy rates in the country.
2. It has the best health care system in the country. You may have heard of the Mayo Clinic.
3. It is one of the greenest places I have ever seen with all the trees and lakes everywhere. They definitely mean it when they say 10,000 lakes. It's absolutely beautiful.
4. We have all major professional sports teams. As you can see we're definitely taking advantage of that.
5. It has the largest mall in the world (for those of you that love to shop!).
6. It has one of the largest scenic byways (trails), that connect all the near by lakes, in the country.
7. It has the Grand Old Creamery that has one of the best ice cream cones I have ever tasted (and that's saying a lot).
8. It has one of the countries top ranked MBA programs at the University of Minnesota (one of the major reasons we're here).
9. It was voted one the healthiest, active cities in the country.
10. And the fact that we're here should be reason enough to come visit.
Needless to say we are loving it and hope you all will want to visit now.
This is the St. Paul temple which is about 20-30 minutes away. It's one of the small temples, but very beautiful.
We went to a Twins game last week and Jensen just loved it. He even has a Twins shirt already.Go Twins!
Then we went to our first NFL game to watch the Vikings play the Seahawks. It was a lot louder and crazier than the Twins game. It took Jensen some getting used to. People here are definitely true, blue (or should I say purple) Vikings fans.
