Opening Line
Bob Dylan was once a resident of Duluth, MN.
Our Minnesota vacation concluded with our (delayed) flight home to Texas yesterday. Random tidbits:
Obviously I suck at goal setting (50 new beers in 2009) since I tried 20 new beers while on vacation, bringing my total to 74 for the year. Yeah, nothing like making things way too easy or perhaps not acknowledging my level of drunk love of a good beer.
Three Brew Pubs worthy of your visitation should you ever be in the area:
- The Thirsty Pagan - Superior, WI
- Fitgers - Duluth, MN
- Town Hall Brewing - Minneapolis, MN
Two Brew Pubs you may consider thinking twice about:
- Great Waters - St. Paul, MN
- The Herkimer - Minneapolis, MN
Jaclyn and I both got in two runs while in Minnesota, both along the shores of Lake Superior. There is a nice asphalt trail that runs for several miles next to the lake that provides some needed shade during the summer months. The sun is more intense in the northwoods, so despite the supposedly cooler temperatures, I may as well have been running in Houston. Except that Houston doesn't have a beautiful lake to run around and 5000% humidity.
Sunday should have been a day of rest since on July 4th I played every sport known to man during the Family Reunion, most of which I had not played in years over a decade. Yeah, the 46 year-old body just don't bounce back the way it used to. Even my booty hurt and it had nothing to do with some weird Minnesota custom.
Minnesota has the best cool breeze on the planet.
Our hotel room not only afforded us a view of the lake, but a front row seat for July 4th Fireworks as well. Plus, you can't beat free.
A very good, if not too short, vacation.
