Heading back to Minneapolis

We got up early today, cleaned the cabin, packed up, and got on the road around 9:20. We went back down 169 which took us by Mille Lacs Lake. I had forgotten what a huge lake! I had to pull into the McDonald's driveway to stop and snap a quick pic.

The rest of the drive was fairly uneventful. We stopped at Perkins in Elk River for some brunch and then got back to Grandma June's house in Apple Valley around 2:30. We unpacked and then did some laundry. June watered her lawn and garden. It had been pretty dry. We had talked about going to the Savoy to have pizza with Greg and Julie, but ended up going to Superman Returns instead. Pretty cool. Some great fx. We got back and Junel called her mom while simultaneously giving me a haircut. Multitasking is definitely not a problem for her. We then chatted a while and went to bed. Junel is getting real excited about the trip to Norway and I'm looking forward to it as well.
