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 I peered in it was very much open. Ope. Gotta get a beer I guess. There's no such thing as the perfect dive bar they say, but the Blazer was right up there.

I went back over to my car decided to get a burrito from the taco truck and hang out with the local Mexican contractors. 

That is a heck of a burrito. Have no clue as to what this place was called, but it seems to be parked next to the brewery all the time.

After dinner I went for a little drive down by the city's chain of lakes. Just like Minneapolis, they like to call themselves the City of Lakes.






Until next time, Fairmont.

Back in the cities we decided we ought to do something fun.

I spy my childhood car.

It was too hot today so we took advantage of our Science Museum membership and spent the afternoon there.

The kids always like making patterns with this.

Not a super exciting end of the week, but it would do.

A Northwoods Mother's Day

My mom had texted me last week asking if we wanted to go to the cottage for Mother's Day. Scott didn't have any work on Monday so we headed there for the weekend. I was able to get off work a little early so we didn't have to get there so late.  Driving through Lindstrom Scott wanted to get donuts at the bakery. We didn't have any cash so we settled on ice cream at the Cotton Candy Ice Cream Shop  in Center City. About 20 minutes before we got to the cottage Meadow threw up all her milk. Soaking herself and her carseat. She never threw up like this before. It was kind of scary. She kept asking for milk. I guess I should've known better.

Yardwork, Ikea and Pumpkins

My new parents-in-law got us a dehydrator for the wedding. Knowing we were going to be cleaning up the garden and going to farmer's market, we took a gander at our millionth kitchen device during breakfast.   Scott added granola to his oatmeal.  The oatmeal was rather bland, just the way Brooke likes it.   Scott was actually cleaning up so I had to take a quick photo of him as proof.  Scott told me he was, "putting a blanket down for Peanut," while singing. During the winter months peanut needs a warm place to peer through the window. Seeing as it was nearly November, I setup his blanket for him. Seeing as the farmers market season is dwindling down, we headed to the market...once again. The close proximity to the cities central farmer's market has to be one of the best assets of living in NoMi. We were both amazed by the bounty of produce still on sale. We quickly filled up our first bag and took it back to the car....

Gardening Mama (or How to Hang Out with High School Friends)

  Some of Scott's friends from high school that he hasn't seen in like 7 years were stopping by later to see our house. We quickly cleaned up the place, breaking one of our favorite mugs on the way.
