Saturday March 17th, brought us an - only in Minnesota - kind of walk. An unseasonably warm day - one of several - brought us out in our spring, and in one case, summer clothes. We started out on the north side of the lake and at 10AM, the morning breeze blowing across the ice had us shivering in our shoes.
By the time we made it to the south side of the lake, the breeze was gone and the sun was very warm.

| Wise Acre Eatery |
For lunch we tried Wise Acres on Nicollet. It's a trendy, lovely restaurant specializing in slow cooked meals featuring meats and produce from the farm of the Tangletown Nursery just across the street. Unfortunately, it turned out to be a slow service restaurant as well. Not really their fault. They were still staffed for a typical winter crowd, but the beautiful summer weather brought out just about everyone in South Minneapolis to try out their patio for lunch. We found a table, but waited more than 1/2 an hour for someone to take our order. Luckily, we had, as always, lots to talk about and will undoubtedly try it again on a less crowded day.
