Our Wedding

We had our first date in the city! Grace was going on a girls trip and it worked out that Peter had a day off from finals and was able to pick her and a friend up from the airport. We ended up walking around the city all day until Pete had to go back to West Point. Best first date :)

First Date in New York - December 2023

We spent the weekend in New York City again and Grace got to experience West Point for the first time as Pete’s date to 500th night.

First Formal at West Point - January 2024

Pete proposed to Grace in Kansas after she picked him up from Sapper school. They got to celebrate with family in Kansas and then celebrate with friends and take photos once they got back to MN. The wedding planning begins!!

Holiday Inn Express & Suites Eden Prairie - Minnetonka, an IHG Hotel

Travel

Great place to hike, walk around, and explore. There is a restaurant at the falls called Sea Salts, it is a great seafood place and there is a fun ice cream shop attached to it! Very pretty place to be during the summer in MN and family friendly.

Minnehaha Falls

A classic MN staple.. every store you can think of, multiple restaurants, fast food places, and coffee shops. Also has an amusement park located in the center. Great activity to kill some time, go on rides, or get some good food. All indoors too!

Mall of America®

Conveniently located right next to The Westin hotel. Multiple stores, restaurants, and coffee shops as well. Fun to walk around and not as crazy as the MOA.

Galleria

This is Grace's all time favorite place to be when the weather is nice. For those wanting to get a little bit of exercise or see the beauty MN has to offer, Lake Harriet is a Swail family favorite. Pete and Grace like to run around here when they are both home! It is almost a 3 mile loop around, and the bandshell offers some food and drinks if you would like to sit by the water. If you go to Lake Harriet though, I recommend stopping at Cafe Ceres for a coffee and breakfast sandwich

Lake Harriet Bandshell Park

The Swail's favorite breakfast/brunch spot and in a fun location. Great breakfast and lunch food, and awesome coffee drinks! They also have a bar for drinks as well. If you are looking for a quick coffee and pastry they have a grab and go option as well. Let us know if you need menu recommendations!

The Lynhall No. 3945 Edina

Right next to Lynhall, this is a fun and nice restaurant if you are looking to dress up and enjoy a good meal or grab a drink and an appetizer. Food is New Orleans themed with options for everyone! Highly recommend and great service if you sit at the bar.
