MN Trip: August 2007

Every year for the 4th of July, we head up to Minnesota to visit my husband's family and spend time at their cabin on the lake. This year, due to schedule conflicts, we went up a month later than usual. Being at the lake is always so relaxing and peaceful, except for the fact that, due to the limited number of rooms in the cabin, my husband and I have to sleep in a tent. This wouldn't be so bad if our tent were bigger; we use the same tent he had bought for his climbing trips when it was just him. I keep telling him that, now that he's married, it's time to upgrade from his bachelor tent...I don't think it's working though.

Our time at the lake began well...we took several pontoon rides, saw a family of bald eagles, and spent some time on a wave runner. Due to global warming, I'm sure, the lake was down quite a bit, but we still were able to enjoy the water and the sunsets were gorgeous.
