Recently we had a chance to celebrate our Christmas and New Year vacation with our in laws in Eagan, Minnesota. Anita’s sister in law Kanmani was working there, her parents were already there and her brother came from India for vacation for two weeks and it was a perfect family get together for Christmas which we never imagined before some months. It was very cold out there and relatively huge amount of snowstorm when compared to NJ. We got a chance to make snow man in the biting cold and Anish simply loved it. The baby showering festival for Kanmani took place very grandly and we all had a great time with delicious sweets, snacks and breakfast.
We celebrated our new year’s eve in Mall of America which happens to be the biggest mall in America. Another notable thing in Minneapolis is the Sky Walk which connects the different buildings and it’s highly beneficial during biting winters. We had a chance to visit many temples (Hindu Temple of Minnesota in Maple Grove, Sri Venkateswara Hindu Temple) nearby. We had a nice get together with Kanmani’s colleagues and it was awesome Biryani prepared by Brutto. Copper Pot Indian Grill is a decent Indian restaurant in the downtown of Minnesota and Genghis Grill, the Mongolian BBQ grill – build your own stir fry was a fascinating experience as well. All in all it was a nice Christmas break to spend time with family, friends and relatives to gear up for the next year.
Cheers,
