My husband (and son) love baseball, so naturally when it came time to pick a birthday experience for my husband…I turned to baseball options.

Plan a day trip to Hopkins, Minnesota!
For our Christmas experience gift this year, we got tickets for Beauty and the Beast at Stages Theatre Company. Since I was a little girl, I’ve gone to tons of plays at Stages.
