Stillwater After A Day Shooting The Birthplace of Minnesota

 

Scott had a shoot in Stillwater and we decided to tag along. After walking along the river we stopped at Teddy Bear Park. 


Then Scott met up with us at Valley Bookseller where they had every Waldo book imaginable. 

We got a couple of snacks at Candyland before exploring downtown Stillwater.

After working for Stillwater for a number of years, Scott knows all the secret spots. 

We also had to stop at the other bookstore, Black Letter Books. 

Theo thought he looked so cool in this old chair.

We noticed Waldo at this store and thought it was just because it was a bookstore. It turned out there was a scavenger hunt to find them throughout town.

So we stopped in all the stores that had one. 

The street approaching the Stillwater Lift Bridge is now a pedestrian plaza. Much better than when all traffic from MN 36 was funneled through town.


If inflatable things survived at the cottage we would totally get this. 

Somebody would definitely pop it. But it's so cool.



I got a flat tire on my bike this week. Because it's an old vintage bike, finding a bike tire was more difficult than I thought. Today would have been perfect to bring our bikes along. 


The kids are super picky about eating lately, we finally settled on pizza. 

What happened to my adventurous eaters?


I had been wanting to get a tablecloth for our picnic table as it's hard to wash off and it had developed an oil stain. Found this one at Target that had built in weights. 

The Romenesko clan loves tablecloths. It just needs to be stained!

We love the Minneapolis Parks outdoor movie nights. I biked with the kids to Lynhurst Park for Trolls Band Together. 

I'm guessing I was busy painting on a rare cloudy, but not rainy day this summer.

The next night Meadow was at a sleepover.

We made a stop at Mall of America where Theo and I rode the rollercoaster. I look thrilled.

 We ended the night at Nicollet Island to watch the Aquatenniel fireworks.

RV Spring Break: Savannah to Miami

Oh, hey, we made it to Savannah. Time for a nice stroll (well, as leisurely as Brooke will allow).   I was pretty excited to be going to Savannah, even if we could only stay for a few hours. The tricky thing with having an RV is finding a place to park. The Fahm Avenue parking lot had RV spots and then we walked over to the historic district. Meadow should go to the Savannah College of Art and Design. You know, if she can get a scholarship. Savannah is just as cool in person as you think. I should have done at least one house tour. I had to embarrass Meadow with taking her photo in front of the first Girl Scout Headquarters.  Brooke got me to go into the beautiful Catholic church right in the historic district. I don't think I've ever been in a Cathedral Basilica. Usually it's one or the other. It seems like every few blocks there was a perfect square. We should build all cities like this. For lunch we went to Savannah Smokehouse . We ended up getting the sampler for 2, whi...

Work Trip: Brooke Didn't Want to go to Fairmont, Minnesota and We go to the Science Museum

It seems like Brooke was always ready to tag along for my hotel shoot work trips. Apparently Fairmont wasn't on her list of place she'd be willing to tag along to. There wasn't much around the area that I really wanted to do. After work I wasn't super hungry, so I went and got a beer at Fairmont Brewing Company . It's pretty rad that there's a microbrewery in almost every decently sized city these days. I walked by this unnamed food truck after a brewski. Also nice that there's decent Mexican food in every nook and cranny in these here United States. Incredible that conservatives some how think this is a bad thing. Since I've been going on photo walks at all of my out of state shoots, might as well keep that up in Martin County. This dive bar beckoned me, "You want another beer, Scott!" Incredible that a county of just under 20,000 people once built a county courthouse this grand. It looked the dive bar I'd walked past was closed, but when...
