Minnesota. You were a dream. I'm not sure if its because I didn't have to cook for 5 days straight, or do the normal 15 loads of laundry in a weeks time span, or because when you're surrounded by so much beauty and nature that you can't help but feel relaxed...but this will go down as one of my top favorite trips, ever.
A little over a month later, here's a recap.
