The last week in June, Samantha, Peter and I rode the new Hiawatha Light Rail line from downtown Minneapolis out to Fort Snelling.

We’ve been excitedly waiting for the light rail line to open up for quite a while. At the moment, with only one “line”, you really can’t call this a light rail “system”, but it’s still a great addition to our public transportation infrastructure here in the Twin Cities.

After arriving at the Fort Snelling station, we walked over to the historic old fort. I think the highlight of the trip for Peter was getting Gettysburg civil war army men from the gift shop.

I’ve added pictures of the trip to our photo gallery.
