We are finally settled back in to a routine following our annual sojourn to Northern Minnesota. Summer is coming to an end and this week we have begun back to school preparations. However, it is easier to accept the beginning of another school year when coming off of a wonderfully relaxing getaway.
In my humble opinion, this year's Carter/Paa/Kolb trip could be the best one to date. We whiled away the days sunning ourselves by the lake without a care in the world, playing lots of sand volleyball and the kids kept busy collecting all sorts of creatures. There was also go-karting, mini-golfing, fishing, jet skiing, karaoking and hours and hours of game playing (really, really funny game playing).

And here's the proof...
For some people, a vacation means running around seeing all of the sights, touring the hot spots, trying new things and meeting new people. Our week spent at Breezy Point was not a vacation in that sense. Our week was even better. It was exactly what I hope for in a vacation~relaxation and unhurried time to spend with the people that I love most.
Minnesota is the land of 10,000 lakes but more importantly, it is also the land of 10,000 of my best memories.
