Our November date was going to be a tour of the Basilica but those are on Sunday so RJ was looking for a backup. Someone at work mentioned taking their wife to a bootlegger’s ball at the museum of history in St. Paul. Everyone was to dress 20’s style. There was a new exhibit on prohibition, dancing, an amateur dance off, crafts, and free alcohol. I thought it was really cool of RJ to look into this and get the tickets (especially since they weren’t cheap). I had a lot of fun pulling our look together (I made my headband, necklace, and got a matching ribbon for RJ’s bowtie to put around his hat) and anticipating the event. We spent most of our time walking through the museum which was interesting. I imagined a huge ballroom floor with everyone dancing. Unfortunately the dance floor was a very limited space where only 15 couples could dance despite the fact that hundreds of people were there looking very dapper in their 20’s apparel. We danced a couple songs then came home a little early. It was still a really cool and different date.
you guys look great!
