Minnesota Trip

Bodie will make his first trip to Minnesota June 9th.

We decided it would be easier to leave from the Oxnard airport even though we could take a non-stop from LAX. Oxnard Airport is about five miles from our house, LAX is about 60; we can easily get a ride to Oxnard, but would have to drive and park at LAX; Oxnard security should be pretty quick, LAX takes a while. So what are we giving up? A non-stop flight from LAX. Instead, we fly from Oxnard to LAX, LAX to Denver, and Denver to Minneapolis. I think it will work out better, but I'll let you know!

We haven't planned all the details yet, but here's what I know: Minneapolis, Bayfield, and Duluth are our destinations. We hope to walk around Lake Harriet, eat cheese curds, see a Twins game, go to the Duluth Zoo, go to the Duluth Aquarium, walk the Lakewalk, visit Canal Park, see a Duluth Huskies game, and take the ferry to Madeline Island. We want to visit my friends Fawn, David, and Chris, and Grandpa Jeff. Oh yeah, Kristi will run Grandma's Marathon on June 16th!

I hope we find some time to house hunt in Duluth. Bodie will never be a hockey player growing up in Oxnard!
