During our recent long weekend in Minneapolis we stopped by the St. Paul area for dinner at The Happy Gnome.
The Happy Gnome is a brewpub with an extensive tap list of microbrews and unusual beverages that are harder to find here in Grand Forks. John had located this restaurant a few years back and owing to their nice beer list and extensive gnome theme, it was pretty much a given that we had to visit. Not only was there great beer and a ton of garden gnomes, but at least one Sasquatch lurking as well. Gnomes and Sasquatch? It's like it was custom made just for John.
John wore his Duff Beer t-shirt, it seemed appropriate. This is the charcuterie plate, an assortment of God's creatures, artfully smoked and pickled for his dining pleasure.
We continued on to a local ice cream parlor that was visited by President Obama.
This is John's patented "The President ate ice cream here, so it's totally worth it, but I'm glad I brought my Lactaid pills" look. I've seen this look many times before.

Looks like a fun place! My younger son lives in St. Paul, I'll tell him about it.
