Minnesota Trip

Last weekend I played hooky from photography and being a mom and finally flew to Minnesota to visit my buddy Liz and her family. They moved to MN 8 years ago from California and love it there. I could see why. What a beautiful, green, pretty place with lots of nice people. We tried to cram in as much as possible: strolling through lovely Excelsior, sitting on a fishing pier, lots of quaint coffee shops, antique stores, driving to the country for more antique stores, finding an awesome spot for Liz's Christmas picture and taking it 5 minutes before the rain started, watching Mamma Mia together (and yes-singing along- we are both closet ABBA fans), a fantastic tour of Lake Minnetonka on their boat with captain Jon (her hubby)-fish tacos and wine included, Ben & Jerry's, dinner at Liz's favorite Thai place, watching fun movies in their newly finished basement/movie theatre, wrestling with her two boys, and of course lots of talking.....
Thanks to our awesome husbands who held down the fort so we could have fun! You guys rock!
