The View from the IDS

The Saturday before last, John and I were invited to a wedding reception at the IDS building. It was a gal who we had played bells with for several years (John's know her longer than I have). What a fancy place and I can tell you that we had never been to a wedding reception like that before. The elevator shot us up to the 50th floor and here is the view we had of the Twin Cities.


In the lobby off of the elevator was a long table set up with an ice cream sundae bar and the biggest berries you could imagine.  The strawberries, raspberries, blackberries were amazing!  Wait staff walked around with appetizers of beef & chicken skewers, shrimp cocktail, puff pastries and lots of drinkks.  One of the rooms on our floor was turned into a casino room and each guest was given a token giving them $1,000 of play gambling money.  John and I played blackjack and a dice rolling game for a while.  It was very family oriented so I was able to learn blackjack in a low pressure atmosphere!  There was a 10 or so piece band playing in the other room and they sounded great!  A lot of detail and planning put into this reception but well worth it.  We had a wonderful time and enjoyed the view too!
