St. Louis Park/Hopkins/New Hope

Hello all,

It has been an exciting day. Unfortunately, I don't have any pictures. My girlfriend, Lauren of lmcollegelife.blogspot.com fame, and I ran some errands in the St. Louis Park/Hopkins area. We took Highway 100, and I did some research on the road before we left. I learned that Highway 100 used to be a beltway (a.k.a. loop) around the Twin Cities. There used to be 6 parks specifically built next to the historic highway, but today only 2 remain. We were able to spot one off of HWY 100 and HWY 7. This summer I'll head down there with the camera and take a few pictures for the blog. Back to the errands. We shopped briefly at a busy COSTCO, picked up Lauren's computer from her step-dad's liquor store and then made a stop at New Hope's Unique Thrift Store. We came away with a LARGE cherry pie, a few sample drinks, slightly used children's books and a nice American flag. That's all for now.

Hello Blogosphere!

Hello all,

Welcome to EricinRealLife! I was inspired to create this blog earlier today when I was thinking about all the things I want to do this summer. Sure, there is still snow on the ground, but I can't wait for the spring and summer. I'm really not sure how often I'll post, but hopefully it will be quite frequently. The goal is to take pictures around the Twin Cities every weekend and post them here. That's all for now.

Eric
