Last weekend the hubby and I took a quick getaway to Minneapolis. Being thrifty, I swear by Hotwire when it comes to booking hotels. On this trip we scored a stay at the Westin downtown for only $58/night. (Just don't ask me about eating downtown because we more than made up for the good deal on our hotel in one dinner). It's a beautiful hotel, but what I liked most about it is, it's in an old bank. I couldn't wait to stay here!
Yah, I stared at this glass for awhile. The detail on old buildings just amazes me sometimes.
More details on the building.
The hotel's wine is stored in the bank's old vault. I wish I would have taken more pictures of the inside of the hotel. If you want to see more visit their website at: Westin hotel
For December it was pretty nice out. At least it was nice enough to walk the 7 or so blocks to the Metrodome. I didn't want to look all touristy, but I couldn't help but take pictures as we walked. I have always been in awe of the big buildings and love to look at them. Minneapolis is one of my favorite cities, but for as many times as I have been there, I haven't spent a lot of time downtown. This was my first time staying downtown and spending time walking around downtown. I absolutely loved it.
Not sure what this building was, but I just love the top of it.
We walked around to the front of this building and it said it was city hall and the courthouse.
It looks even prettier with a light dusting of snow.
I could have spent all day walking around downtown taking pictures. I may have to take some time next year and do just that. I was also researching salvage places in Minneapolis and found a few I would love to go to. I think a photography and junkin' weekend will be in order next summer.
