Travel Tuesday..... We LOVE MN !!

Summer is almost here!! Every summer since I was born we have always spent a week or 2 in Minnesota. My moms family started going when they were kids & the tradition is still going strong. We look forward to it just as much a Xmas!!


It’s the one place we go where you have no choice but to relax. No TV, phones, computers. Just the lake, swimming, fishing, exploring , campfires & playing some UNO in the cabin!!
Grandma, Grandpa, Aunts ,Uncles & cousins all come up at the same time for all the fun!! :D




Grandma & Noelle soaking up some fresh air & sunshine!!

It's so much fun to see my own girls look forward to this trip each year, just like my own sister & I always have.


Mmmm...smores!
And since it’s a long car ride (11 hours) there’s always fun stops & little treats to keep everyone happy!
But we can’t get here soon enough!!

    I've been to Minnesota a couple times. It is beautiful. Your pictures are great. I need to plan out outdoor adventure for our family--soon!

    Oh how fun! I've never been to Minnesota. It's one of 8 states left I need to visit to hit all 50.

    I can't wait to get there! One of my favorite things about MN is playing with the girls. How many days? I know you are counting!
