So Dad--Kelly--came to visit over the last weekend of July. He had a meeting in the Cities so he took a weekend to stay with us and then went to his meeting.
I'm sad/mad at myself a bit because I didn't take any pictures. Whenever someone's visiting and we're having fun, I always forget to take pictures. So, alas, I have none to show this time. Sorry.
When he got here, I took the light rail from the Mall of Themerica (Mall of America for those of you out of the loop around here--that's what the kids called it for a long time!) to the airport to pick Dad up. We had some lunch and did some shopping at IKEA across the street and then headed home.
We took a day trip up north to Jay Cooke State Park, had a picnic lunch, hiked along the beautiful St. Louis River, and then drove up to Duluth to try to catch a glimpse of the Tall Ships in the harbor that day. It was too hard to see them and there was a bad combination of heavy traffic and construction there, so we had to turn around and head home.
We took a walk around the neighborhood (in the forest part), we had dinner at Todd and Brian's house to celebrate Todd's birthday, and we just generally had a good time.
We were sad to drop Dad off at his hotel on Monday afternoon, and we're definitely looking forward to the next time we get to see him!
