Redneck Riviera

When we were invited to go on vacation to the coast of Alabama we had our doubts. But the very fact that our good friends, the Berner's and the Van Bellen's--fine Swedish and Dutch folk--did the bidding we gauged it cosmopolitan enough to visit an area known for its Mullet Festival. Turns out, Gulf Shores as the region is known, is quite the hidden beauty nestled between New Orleans and Pensacola. And the mullet is a tasty fish not the hairstyle of an aging baseball pitcher. Dolphin, flounder, stingray, and crab kept us busy and far from hungry. Thanks again!

Weekend in the Twin Cities

After our time in Wisconsin and Northern MN we were able to head down to the Twin Cites for a few days to be with Ben's family and hang out with our MN friends. It was great to see everyone at the Open House BBQ and do some MN things with the family...race car driving at the Mall of America, Caribou Coffee, and our favorite Punch Pizza!

Bayfield Getaway

College Girlfriends

In the heart of August Ben and I were fortunate to return to Minnesota for a little R and R with family and friends. We started out the time in Bayfield,the northernmost tip of Wisconsin, with five of my girlfriends from college and their families. Bayfield is a charming gateway to the Apostle Islands in Lake Superior. It was so good to have everyone together. Thanks for the fun weekend!
