A visit with Cousins in St. Paul MN

Spent the night at Baker Park Reserve

 It was a beautiful sunset but the clouds brought rain

Everybody heading out of town. We were going in the right direction.

Judy's cousin and family resides in beautiful refurbished Endicott building in downtown St.Paul. 

The ceiling was stunning!

Kathryn in the formal entrance to the building

This sign though hard to read says: " The World's First Telephone Answering Service October 1927" --- "The Northwest Airlines First Twin Cities Ticket Office April 1928"

An elegant elevator and spiral staircase

Kathryn, Gary and Sydney live on the 10th floor. This is a view looking down the 10 floors.

Shelby loved the low windows

Within the building there is a gym, party room, garden terrace and this roof top shared areas


 The dogs loved being off leash and enjoyed their freedom


The view to the south

 The view of the Mississippi to the west

The view of the Mississippi to the east and the Old Customs House

There is a nice barbecue on the roof top and Gary made us a delicious meal of chicken, ham and cheese sands with tomato, basil and mozzarella salad. The basil is from his hydroponic garden.

This was the venue for their son Alan's wedding to Sierra Jin on June 10th on Raspberry Island. This is Sydney, Kathryn and Gary

Here's what the wedding looked like. It was beautiful from what we can tell from the photos and stories the family told us.

Here's not so formal Judy and dogs

Raspberry Island is a park on the Mississippi



It was a wonderful fun filled day and even the weather cooperated. It was great catching up with the family.

They took us on a light rail tour from Union depot to the University where Kathryn works
