Aug 22 Fairfield to Bloomington, Minnesota

We started out about 8:30 Saturday morning for our family vacation to Minnesota's North Shore Drive in the northeastern part of Minnesota, with a short escape to Canada. So passports in hand, along with all our other necessities, off we went. I had arrived in Iowa 2 days earlier from hot, hot, hot and dry La Paz, BCS, Mx. and surprised Mom at the breakfast table. She had no idea I was going to show up for the trip, or for anything else, until the first part of November. But as I wasn't doing much on Argo since our near sinking, I decided to partake of the family vacation to Minnesota. Along with Mom was Sue and Eddie. ( sister and bro-in-law ). We have traveled together before and had a wonderful time. No reason to think this would be anything but another wonderful family vacation. This is our preferred way to have lunch. We carry the fixings for lunch for several days and stop wherever looks good to enjoy them. Breakfast we usually have as part of the charge at motels where we stay. And for supper we find a nicer place to eat and end the day.

In the Mall of America we found a place to eat at 'Bubba Gump Shrimp Co.' Absolutely delicious stuffed trout with crab and shrimp filling. We were just fine after that, but then we had two, 2, two, desserts, Chocolate Chip Cookie sundae, and the Mud Pie! We were seriously overloaded with sugar after that and simply went back to the motel to digest, not a quick process certainly.
