Our Anniversary @ Nature Valley

This past Friday my wife Patti and I celebrated our anniversary. We had an absolutely wonderful meal at a nice little Italian restaurant in the Uptown area of Minneapolis. This is definitely one of my favorite areas in the Twin Cities and since moving to the burbs, which is dull in comparison, I don't get there very often anymore. We had a pleasant surprise in store for us when we got there...It came in the form of a bike race. The Nature Valley Grand Prix to be more precise. One of the corners of the Uptown Criterium was right in front of our restaurant which made for a rather entertaining evening.
