Stillwater After A Day Shooting The Birthplace of Minnesota

By

 

Scott had a shoot in Stillwater and we decided to tag along. After walking along the river we stopped at Teddy Bear Park. 


Then Scott met up with us at Valley Bookseller where they had every Waldo book imaginable. 

We got a couple of snacks at Candyland before exploring downtown Stillwater.

After working for Stillwater for a number of years, Scott knows all the secret spots. 

We also had to stop at the other bookstore, Black Letter Books. 

Theo thought he looked so cool in this old chair.

We noticed Waldo at this store and thought it was just because it was a bookstore. It turned out there was a scavenger hunt to find them throughout town.

So we stopped in all the stores that had one. 

The street approaching the Stillwater Lift Bridge is now a pedestrian plaza. Much better than when all traffic from MN 36 was funneled through town.


If inflatable things survived at the cottage we would totally get this. 

Somebody would definitely pop it. But it's so cool.



I got a flat tire on my bike this week. Because it's an old vintage bike, finding a bike tire was more difficult than I thought. Today would have been perfect to bring our bikes along. 


The kids are super picky about eating lately, we finally settled on pizza. 

What happened to my adventurous eaters?


I had been wanting to get a tablecloth for our picnic table as it's hard to wash off and it had developed an oil stain. Found this one at Target that had built in weights. 

The Romenesko clan loves tablecloths. It just needs to be stained!

We love the Minneapolis Parks outdoor movie nights. I biked with the kids to Lynhurst Park for Trolls Band Together. 

I'm guessing I was busy painting on a rare cloudy, but not rainy day this summer.

The next night Meadow was at a sleepover.

We made a stop at Mall of America where Theo and I rode the rollercoaster. I look thrilled.

 We ended the night at Nicollet Island to watch the Aquatenniel fireworks.

RV Spring Break: Minneapolis to South Carolina

By
Another Spring Break can only mean one thing these days: Campervan Spring Break. Well scratch the campervan this time around. Get in the RV we're driving to Florida.   You know we love our road trips. Last summer, a few months after our first Campervan Spring Break , Theo said he wanted to go on another campervan trip. I asked where and he said to Florida. Never thought we'd be a spring break in Florida family, but here we are. But first we had to get to Elkhart, Indiana to pick up our RV. Instead of driving or flying we took the Amtrak Borealis service down to Chicago for the first leg of our journey.   We were a little nervous that our train would be cancelled. Just three days earlier all the Borealis trains were found to have corrosion. They had moved routes via the bus. Thankfully they had replacement trains by the time of our departure.  As you can tell Meadow is super excited to be cooped up in an RV with us for a week or so.   There's no assigned seats so you ...

A Northwoods Mother's Day

By
My mom had texted me last week asking if we wanted to go to the cottage for Mother's Day. Scott didn't have any work on Monday so we headed there for the weekend. I was able to get off work a little early so we didn't have to get there so late.  Driving through Lindstrom Scott wanted to get donuts at the bakery. We didn't have any cash so we settled on ice cream at the Cotton Candy Ice Cream Shop  in Center City. About 20 minutes before we got to the cottage Meadow threw up all her milk. Soaking herself and her carseat. She never threw up like this before. It was kind of scary. She kept asking for milk. I guess I should've known better.

Honeymoon: Madeline Island Without a Kayak? At Least We Brought Bikes.

By
We made it safely to Bayfield without getting attacked by any bears . I think that's because of my wily driving skills.
