Heading north

Well, today we are heading up north--to the north shore. I have lived in Minnesota for almost half of my life but never been to the elusive north shore. I'm looking forward to seeing the craggy cliffs by Lake Superior and enjoying the cool weather. Although we are not suffering power outages or extreme heat like Europe (I won't even compare it to Iraq!), it's been mighty warm here for the northern folks, and our electric bill was almost $200 last month.

So, a dip in the lake sounds nice, a change in latitude is in order, and some good family time will be had by all, we hope! Hopefully the van will have no more problems (read, flat tire, starter outage, blinker trouble in the last 2 weeks!) and we'll come home ready to face the world Sunday evening.

Till next time,
Suzi
