Minnesota is gorgeous!
We just got back from a weekend up in Minnesota with Chad's folks -- a sort of second wedding reception, since they couldn't make it down last month. It's about a 9 hour drive straight up I-29 from Kansas City, through some surprisingly lovely farm and ranch land.
The in-laws have a beautiful lake home in northern Minnesota. Everyone was welcoming and the weather was great, and I laid back on the dock over a mirror-still lake to look up at stars upon stars upon stars while the moon turned rusty red over the horizon. Something swam by in the dark that I couldn't quite see -- I think it was a beaver.
The drive was simple and fun and fast, but 9 hours behind the wheel is, well, 9 hours behind the wheel. Time for bed! I'll put up pictures later.
