christmas tree farm!
every year for christmas, tony and i love to go and get a real tree at a christmas tree farm. its not cheap (!) but it is really fun and a tradition for our family. we went to the same christmas tree farm as last year, kruegers! (see last year's trip here!) when we first moved back to minneapolis, we went to this christmas tree farm because it was close to where we lived at the time. and now we keep going back! the place has so many memories, and we look forward to going for many years to come. ...

hiking cascade river.
hello everyone! we just got back from a very relaxing and beautiful weekend on the north shore of lake superior. i wanted to surprise tony with this trip, and just tell him to pack for an active fall weekend and get in the car and go, but i couldn't keep a secret from him and told him right away! he likes to get really excited for trips, so i knew that this was actually better than surprising him anyway. one of the great things about the north shore is that it is dog-friendly for the most part, ...
