There’s something about this particular campground and about St Paul/Minneapolis that makes us stop and relax and play catch-up on all the things we’d been putting off. We got in, set up and headed to an Indian lunch. The weather here has been schizophrenic. One minute it’s sunny and beautiful; the next minute it’s raining and threatening thunderstorms and tornadoes.
The change around the campground in just one year was unbelievable. There was development everywhere—miles of shopping malls and large townhouse/apartment complexes—with no end in sight. Just down the street was a new SuperWalMart being built- across the street from the Sam’s Club. While it was distressing to see such widespread retail development, it did make for a very convenient stop to get all of those errands run. We managed to get computer stuff from CompUSA, XM radio installed at Circuit City and wonderful gourmet food from those great MSP grocery stores.

We also got to spend some time with Mom and E.D. We headed up for a day visit-which turned into an overnight. After a few glasses of wine, it just didn’t make sense to drive 100+ miles back to the campground. Just before we took off, we found a great deal on a TIVO recorder – so we picked it up and brought it to Mom the Saturday before we left. She’s turned into a TIVO addict.
