Now that it's finally getting warmer out, what are your 3 (I know......i've got more than 3 too) favorite things to do in the summer in the TC. By summer I really mean the comfortable period from May to Oct.

On a whim, here's mine. If I could choose 4, Ren. Festival would be up there

1.state fair
2.lake Harriet/breakfast in linden hills
3.outdoor concerts on Harriet island

I used to like listening to music at Lake Harriet until they changed it to Grandma hour last summer. Not much worth checking out. Now, I usually just speed by on my bike. The trail around the lake is still worth it, tho.

1. I like driving around the lakes - Lake Minnetonka area and MPLS
2. I like Golfing at various golf courses, early in the am
3. Target Field is a must see, always.

Does anyone have any specific ideas as to where I can go running in MPLS? I am an avid distance runner, and would love to run on some natury trails, paved or gravel- in the MPLS area. Any ideas where to start?!??!?

Good call, I definitely overlooked BBQ's. There's nothing like hanging out with friends eating good food on a beautiful night.
