Our beautiful view all through Wisconsin… and then Illinois… and then Indiana…  It turns out that the great American countryside is made up mostly of corn.IMG_0001.JPG

Day 54: We Call it “Glamping”

Annie’s birthday weekend, in the form of a weekend camping trip on the Apple River in WI, began with the construction of our glorious tent village. 12 people, 5 tents, 1 giant grill, 1 full kitchen set, and 1 mosquito-tent later:20140715-203747-74267248.jpg

An awesome camping meal: put beef, cut veggies, and potatoes in tin foil (DOUBLE WRAPPED) and let the bundles cook in the coals for about 20 minutes. Delicious.20140715-203747-74267966.jpgJuly 11, 2014: 312 more ways to be a real Minnesotan
