Road Trips, 1 year anniversary, & Photos

June was possibly the fastest month of the last year. We started with a visit from Pa & Ma P, had separate trips in the middle, & came back to prepare for July.

Here's a picture of S, H, & I overlooking the Missouri River in Bismarck.

I had a wonderful few days visiting with S, H, & T in Bismarck. S & I got out & went to see Snow White and the Huntsmen which we decided was just ok. H provided lots of smiles & laughter. And as always it was good to connect with a fellow Diaconal Minister friend & hear about her call.

Z & I out hiking on our one year anniversary

The next trip lead us up the North Shore of Lake Superior to Lutsen Resort. It was a last minute change in our trip as the area we were supposed to go camping was closed due to recent severe flooding. The Resort - we stayed at the Mountain Inn - reminded me of the resort in Dirty Dancing.

Bonus that it's located right on the shore of Lake Superior

We spent a few days hiking, exploring Lutsen & the surrounding area, & eating really well.

Happy 1 Year Anniversary to us! Here we are at Blue Fin Bay

A few other highlights that were intermixed with these travels are outdoor movie night at church, impromptu dinner & boat rides, 4th of July fireworks, our attempts at emptying out our freezer/fridge, & being able to attend the wedding of N & A.

Minnesota sure is pretty, but so are other parts of the country & world.

Next week we head to CA (not by road) for L2's wedding! Yay for family reunions!
