Canoe Trip

Today we went on our annual canoe trip. This is our 4th year that Michael and I have done this together and we brought along our friends Tanya and Chris this time. You couldn't have asked for any better weather for our 17 mile journey down the St. Croix River on this 1st official day of summer. The river was very high today but one of the canoers told us that the river was 4 feet higher just a few days ago. We stopped in Osceola to relax and have lunch. After the canoe trip, we went down to Stillwater to have a Bloody Mary at Brine's. Michael loves their Bloody's. Newcastle Brown Ale was doing a promotion there and asked us trivia questions to win prizes. We all ended up being winners with the girls getting a hat and the guys a t-shirt. Not too bad considering that it is one of, if not the favorite, beer for all of us. After Brine's we walked down to PD Pappy's for one more drink. Overall, it was a perfect day with perfect weather and perfect company.
