In a previous post we mentioned some of the sites we visited on our trip to Minneapolis. One of the places was a theater, the Guthrie Theater, we had a fun time there and briefly looked out over the river and the stone bridge crossing the Mississippi. This ran through my memory as we sat and watched the terrible scene of the bridge collapse last week. I don't believe we actually crossed that particular bridge, but it did make us stop and think for a bit. Then of course we had to call the parents, they are avid Twins fans, and do frequent the nearby districts where that occured. Thankfully we could get them by phone, considering the lines must have been jammed. They were heading elsewhere that evening, and this was relayed to other concerned family members.

Ironically only a few days later, here in Chattanooga, we are having a celebration of our bridge reopening after 2 years of being closed. The photo of the bridge is taken on the day prior to reopening.
We didn't partake in the celebrating due to the crazy heat that has plagued the region for a week now.
As if that wasn't enough about bridges, we watched 'Bridges of Terabithia' on Saturday night. All I am saying is the trailer is misleading, its a good movie but not what you are expecting. Well, I better find a new topic , before I wind up in a game of bridge.
