A Memorial Day Road Trip
I do not think I mentioned over here, but I am in Minnesota for a visit at my parents’ farm. It had been over a year since I had last been home. On Memorial Day my sister and I got up and out the door by 4am to go to an area state park and get photos of the sunrise. When we arrived, the park was gated. We decided to make the most of our situation and go get breakfast a great greasy spoon truck stop nearby only to find out they did not open until 6am. So, we turned around and headed back into town to breakfast at Perkins to waste some time before heading out to tour the areas to the northwest of us.
We stopped at Swift Falls County Park, Glacier Lakes State Park, Historic Terrace Mill and ended at Sibley State Park and crashed back at home around 1:30 after stopping at the greasy spoon for lunch and phenomenal pie. The highlights of our photocentric roadtrip are in the mosaic above. You can check them all out, plus a few, on Flickr.
We’re going to camp (and I use that term loosely) at Sibley on Friday night in hopes of catching a colorful sunset and sunrise, so positive vibes of such sent our direction are greatly appreciated :-)
