We took our trip to Stillwater... What a great little town, right on the St Croix River. It only took about an hour to get there... and feels like a totally different place. Of course, Halley and Dan snoozed on the way... (well, they snoozed on the way home too, but I didn't take a picture of that since it looked the same...lol).
The town is a typical tourist place, but there is a whole lot of history there. The homes were truly a slice of Americana. The flags were out... everyone getting ready for tomorrow, the 4th. The Paddle Boat was about a two hour trip.... the coastal views from the river were splendid. Temperature was absolutely perfect.
After the ride, we spent just a bit of time walking on Main street. Halley had her walker, so we didn't do anything too taxing. Halley found a great candy store and she and Dan emptied some of their wallets there.
Tomorrow, not sure what we'll do... we all decided we don't want to be in the crowds. We do want to play some puttputt golf... we will see. We'll prolly watch a lot of fireworks shows from our hotel. Since it's all flat here, we'll be able to see many of the shows.
Just finished sharing some birthday cake with Halley, Dan, and Jean... good cake, great company if I do say so myself... A great daughter and son in law, and a wonderful wife... and a nifty God... what more could one want...?
