Marina Turns 12, the Whole Farber Clan Visits

Marina wanted to come to Minneapolis for her birthday again.

This weekend was all about her. One of Marina's requests was to go to the fabric store. We need some new napkins so I thought I would look for fabric too. We hit up our favorite fabric warehouse, SR Harris.

SR Harris didn't have anything we wanted so we checked out one of the going-out-of-business Joann Fabrics. They had a 2 yard minimum, guess I'll be making lots of napkins.

While the ladies went and had fun, I took apart the boards to the ice rink. Another year of backyard ice skating in the books.

Marina had some birthday money to spend on items for her bedroom. Ikea it is. My kids love Ikea. This kids couch is cute.

Leave it to Meadow to find the cat items.

Scott gets embarrassed when we wear the same shoes and then I saw this couple.

On Sunday Marina wanted to do fun things around Minneapolis. First we got Glam Doll Donuts.

We tend to favor Bogarts but sometimes it's nice to expand beyond our neighborhood.

Meadow and Marina have been bestie cousins since they were wee babies. They've sure grown up to be cool cats.

Then we went to bougie Linden Hills.

Pinwheels is the best toy store in the cities. Or at least the one we go to the most often.

It's pretty fun. They have so much stuff!

We also stopped across the street at Heartfelt.

I love the prints in the sister shop to Heartfelt, Piccadilly Prairie.

I always spend the whole time on this side of the shop.

See you later Linden Hills.

~~Magnatiles~~ Picasso Tiles have taken over our living room.

As they should.

The birthday girl wanted an Oreo Cookie Cake. We surprised her with a chocolate cat on top.

Happy Birthday, Marina!

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...
