Anniversaries, proposals & wineries.

(Today is the anniversary of Tom & Linda's engagement on the shores of West Lost Lake in Minnesota--22 years ago!)

It's 11:30 in the morning, 55 degrees, and cloudy. This isn't really what we were expecting for our July vacation at the lake! It is unseasonably cool here and will remain cool tomorrow. Mom & Dad called and have decided that they are going to go home early, since this is their 2nd week in Minnesota and it's just too cold to fish anyway. We're trying to find alternate activities (like checking email, blogging, etc.). This afternoon Tom and I will head off to the Forestedge Winery. The kids won't want to miss Karrie's treasure hunt at 4:00. They are definitely enjoying the cable TV and plethora of DVD's they have available. Hopefully better days are ahead!

After the winery (which was very busy due to the blustery weather), Tom & I headed to Bemidji to catch a movie. We saw "The Proposal," a romantic comedy, which was an appropriate choice for the anniversary of the day Tom proposed to me. The kids enjoyed the treasure hunt with their cousins back at the resort, and when we returned we took them out for dinner at the Casino. It was "Walleye buffet" night, and we found it to be quite tasty with decent service.
