A week vacation!

We spent all of last week in Ely, MN and along the north shore of Lake Superior. All told, we spent 1 night in Ely, 2 at Cascade River State Park (SP), 1 at Temperance River SP, 1 at George Crosby Manitou SP, and 1 at Split Rock Lighthouse SP. It was a good time, a little bit of rain, cool temps, some sun, Ole and Svens legendary pizza, a slightly scary moose experience (we think and hope it was a moose), and some quality time together. Below are a few highlights.

The Beer Boot

As always... I am chuckling a little bit about the topic I am posting about. The vast majority of friends and coworkers are amidst the "kid experience", even today I had a coworker announce she was pregnant and expecting her second child. So... without further delay, I humbly present our newest addition to a little bit of fun in the Lee household, our German beer boot.

We finally made it to the Western Minnesota's Steam Thrashers Reunion over the labor day weekend. I hadn't been there for a few years and Nicole had never been there. There was so much to see, here is a bit from our trip.
