MN Renaissance Festival and Asia Mall for Dinner

We wanted to go to the Renaissance Festival again this year and this time take my parents. I won free tickets at work and unfortunately they had to be used before they had planned to visit. 
 
This would've been a blast with G.G. and Grandpa. But it would still be fun nonetheless.

Now you have to pay for parking or take a shuttle. It made getting onto the festival grounds much quicker, but the line to get into the festival was quite long. 

It wasn't too bad of wait and we were in, in no time. 

We walked around stopping at anything that caught our eye.

The first time we went was definitely the best, but it's still a hoot. Just expect to spend a lot of money.


We saw a show called Puke and Snot and thought it would be funny. It was all adult jokes that went right over the kids heads. 

I mean, it was funny, but not exactly appropriate. We thought it was going to be pirate themed. They even had a folk artist sing sea shanties before the main act. But alas, not a pirate themed comedy show.

Meadow only cared about going to the shops. 

I sat outside when they went clothes shopping.

I'm impressed Theo still fits his Link outfit. 

Theo picked out a wooden sword that we thought was a bit cheaper than it actually was. Whoops. But he loves it, so who cares.

Meadow wanted elf ears but her ears are so small. 

Apparently I wasn't inspired to take a million photos, but Brooke picked up the slack.


Meadows outfit could use a cape. 

You know Brooke will just make one.

I could have stayed longer but Scott was ready to go.

Theo was being a little punk, but I was also just kind of done for the day. Would've been more fun with friends and family.

Since we were in the area we stopped at the Asian Mall. 

So much for not spending too much money. We ordered food from Legendary Spice and Dim Sum Garden, who share a seating area and kitchen.

A robot brought us our food. 

Nothing will be as good as the dim sum restaurant in San Francisco. 

Not quite, but we got everything in one place and the green beans were killer.

Then we ended the night with watching When Marnie Was There. 

And just like that we were finished watching the complete Ghibli Studios filmography.

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...

Backcountry Camping with Kids in Theodore Roosevelt National Park

Day 1  Back in May I stumbled upon Theodore Roosevelt National Park. I had no idea there was a National Park in North Dakota and that it was the northern end of the Badlands. Usually our summer vacations coincide with Scott's work trips. Since he didn't have any this summer I thought we should take advantage of actually taking a vacation. What, my workcations are always classics? I suppose a second real vacation this year wouldn't hurt. We definitely have more time than normal. As long as we took Covid-19  precautions and avoided people. We finally settled on a time to go. Blake joined us so we borrowed our dad's van so we could ride together. Scott had just driven from Michigan the day before. Blake had met my parents in Wisconsin to get the van and then drove from Duluth to pick us up. I offered to drive since I literally only drive twice a month.  I was still pretty tired from a long drive home. Since we were near Fergus Falls we had to stop by the abandoned state ho...
