What New Adventure Are You Going To Plan Thanks To the Minnesota Bucket List?

One place that I drove by every week when I lived in the Twin Cities area is still on my bucket list.  I can't believe I've lived in Minnesota for 24 years and have NOT gone to see the place where Prince, a Minnesota legend, made his musical magic.  Seeing Paisley Park will hopefully get crossed off in the next 365 days for me.  I have to save up a bit to see that iconic place but one bucket list adventure I CAN check off now is seeing the Minneapolis Institute of Art because it is FREE!

What Great Adventure is Missing on the Minnesota Bucket List?

I'm sure you are aware that Minnesota is a big state.  Well, we aren't as big as Texas but we still do have quite a bit of square footage to explore, including the 11,000+ lakes in our state.  I haven't explored them all so if there is a spot you absolutely love that didn't make the list that everyone should visit, let me know over on my Facebook page - Jessica On The Radio.
