Since making the big move to Minnesota from Washington DC, we have loved exploring the Twin Cities and the surrounding area. Our favorites so far have included a day trip to Stillwater on the St. Croix River, going to a Twins game at Target Field in Minneapolis, eating junk food at the Minnesota State Fair in St. Paul, playing golf every week on one of the many courses surrounding our neighborhood, and enjoying the gorgeous peaceful lakes everywhere. In September we took our first road trip from the Twin Cities and drove up to Duluth on the North Shore to see the fall colors. Minnesota is so gorgeous!
