Cabin fever settling in
So yeah, starting to go a little stir-crazy with the chilly weather, and I’ve been trying to think of things to do on my weekends other than hole up in my apartment and watch hours and hours of teevee. I think I need to get some nature or culture in my life. Too much artificial reality is eating my brain, I’m afraid.
I’ve been thinking of driving out to the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum. Anyone been there recently? Is it still interesting in the winter? I see they have some orchid seminars coming up. Those might be good. I guess what I want to know is, is it still worth the drive? I’ve been there on field trips in high school, but that was over a decade ago. Yipes.
I also want to re-visit the Minneapolis Institute of Arts. Their collection, as I remember it from taking an art history class there, is expansive and also free. Anyone been recently?
Any other suggestions for creative things to do around town that are warm and inside and yet outside the realm of staying home?

I love the MIA. If I want something more active, I go for a few laps at the indoor go-kart place in Blaine: Pro-Kart.
I’d like to explore the Skyway. It’s not as fun and crazy on the weekend as it is during the weekday lunch hour, I think, but it’s still pretty cool.
Kristi, I share your cabin fever. I’ve been looking for people to do “field trips” like you suggested. Any ideas about how to hook people up for them. It seems like a huge city with lots of people….but it’s hard to make contact. Must be the February blues talking.
