Today was another travel day. We loaded up the van and hit the road after a nice continental breakfast. We were heading to Wilmar (pronounced like Wilmer), Minnesota. On the way we passed through Fargo, North Dakota of movie fame.
We also passed by another "largest" roadside attraction - the largest crow.
We arrived at the Comfort Inn in Wilmar around 3:00, checked in, and waited for the other family members to arrive. The Parsons were already there, Norma and Linda arrived around 3:30, and Craig, Christine, Tess, and Leah all arrived later that evening.
Karen and Carl had kindly arranged a cruise boat on Green Lake for everyone to mingle and see the area a bit. Minnesota is, as they say, the land of 10,000 lakes.
The boat ride was a lot of fun. The kids (and Jen) enjoyed the nacho station that had a machine that made that had freshly melted nacho cheese. Mmmmm. We had skipped lunch to make the boat on time so we were hungry, and this tasted great.
Afterward we had terrific dinner at Carl and Karen's house. Craig and family had arrived by this time so we all got some quality time with my new niece, Leah.
Cute, isn't she?
After the dinner, we went back to the hotel to relax and swim a little. Another fun day, but our days of vacation are drawing to an end.
