Minnesota Trip :: Day 1

Last Wednesday evening, Paul and I embarked on our annual 8 hour journey to Minnesota to spend the 4th of July weekend with his Dad and relatives. We arrived in the great state (and might I say a much cooler one) at 2am Thursday morning. After some much needed sleep we spent the afternoon hiking in the Interstate Park in St. Croix, WI. It was so beautiful. It was also Paul's birthday... Happy Birthday Baby!

As soon as we arrived at the park, this butterfly landed on my sister-in-laws' hand. He stayed there for quite awhile!

The St. Croix River

My sister-in-law, Melissa, ... isn't she beautiful!

It was a short little adventure, but we needed to get back and rest up. The next day we had two more hours north to travel to get to our cabin on the lake. Tomorrow, I will post more on our travels!
