June 7, 2007 Visit to Minneapolis


On our drive to Minnesota we had some fun at Dawson's expense (Dawson is Lori's boyfriend). We came across this cute little town that had all these gnomes in a park. The name of the town was Dawson and the park erects a new gnome each year in honor of a recently deceased member of the community that was of some recognition. There were doctor gnomes, photographers, bakers, teachers, realtors you name it. Anyway...Chris and I couldn't resist.



Next Chris decides to have ssome fun at MY expense. Little did I realize what I was posing for. (Please note Smiley Face.....I HATE Smiley Faces!!)
Then he decided to share a theory that a Cobra rides as "smooth as the rails". Ah...yeah. Chris, could we please get off these tracks? There's one of those railroad pickup trucks coming and he doesn't appear to be slowing down!








We were fortunate to visit Chris' cousin Nancy and her husband Jerry in Minneapolis and had a lovely dinner with them. Their son Aaron and wife Aundrea fixed dinner (yum). We were very grateful for the hospitality when all of a sudden a rainfall began and it "delayed" our departure for a few moments. We had left the hotel without our tonneau cover so we did not have a way to keep the rain out...so Jerry backed his car out of the garage and gave us shelter.
