I spent the last 5 days enjoying the bluffs of Minnesota, cool breeze, the smell of coffee and homemade candles. I floated down the Root River, while dipping my feet in the cool water and soaking up the warm sun. I window shopped, tasted some amazing wine, and spent three hours painting a mug at a pottery shop. I walked through historical Lansboro, and wished walls could talk. I walked the streets of a town known for its bed and breakfasts, and slept in the most retro room of all. Vintage malls, museums, and victorian houses. The view anyone would die to see. I spent the last 5 days enjoying life.

A Jodi House :-) |
|
There were some neat retro objects in the bed and breakfast we stayed at |
|
The dinning room of the Bed and Breakfast (Grandmas's Inn) |
|
The living room |
|
The living room to the west room... I love the reds! |
|
All of these knickknacks in this bed and breakfast were left from the previous owner. The Grandma Inn was added on 13 times! |
|
One of the neat shops in Lansboro |
|
This is what Brent and his dad caught the first day they went fishing |
|
The very last fish Brent caught was this 20in trout! According to a book we found in Lansboro, any trout
above 18 inches is only a figment of our imaginations! Brent is not dreaming :-) |
|
We stopped in Spring Valley where Brent's mom went to a great quilt shop. While she was shopping we went for a walk near this :-) |
|
Brent's dream fish :-) |
|
We stopped in Preston on our way back to Lansboro, and we saw this car, it has two front ends!
We totally wanted to each take a wheel and see what way we would end up going.. :-) |
|
So pretty! |
|
On our way down to Platteville, we stopped at a look out in Guttenberg, and this is the view we got to see! | | | | | | | | | | |
I had such a great time, and would definitely do it again. It is amazing what the back roads, and the small towns have to offer!
