An absolutely, wonderful slow morning... needed that after the headache I had last night. Got started with our touristy stuff about 11:30.... nice...
First stop was the Train Museum... This museum has done a great job... Halley couldn't get in the cars, but I took photos and could share what they looked like inside. Of course, they also had a huge miniature train set that looked pristine and lifelike. The whole experience was great in that there wasn't huge amounts of reading about what you were looking at... and if you didn't want to do any reading, you still got the gist of the particular train car or engine you were looking at. That's pretty important when we have Halley along... Oh... and they had a gift shop... score one for us!
Had a late lunch in the Canal Park tourist trap! Ahhhhhh, love Americana! Seriously it is a nice little walking town. Halley located the Cold Stone Creamery... so, after lunch she and Andy had a treat while Jerry and I walked & found a geocache in the area. After they finished up, we drove to a couple more caches so Andy could see how they are done. Found two more!
Topped the day off with watching the evening sailboat races. They were so far from us... had to zoom the camera... After all the crazy wind the last few days...tonight's breeze was light (that's why they were so far out in the bay... looking for more wind) the race seem to go on forever... We had a great area to view them from, a wonderful duo singing great songs, folks around us all friendly and all of us laughing at our own jokes... Eventually we got hungry, so, we walked all of 50 feet to eat on the outdoor patio and still listen to the great music! The evening was almost perfect... Till the mosquitoes found me... and ONLY me... I guess I'm just lucky that way!
Tomorrow, back to Minneapolis, drop the wheel chair off and then on to the airport....Whew... did alot these last few days!
The Mail Car
Just a little snow plow!
A huge articulated Engine... don't even know what that means, but it WAS huge!
Yes.... success at the gift shop!
Teaching Andy the finer points of geocaching!
