A Visit To Minnesota

One of the stops on our trip this summer was Minneapolis, Minnesota.  Minnesota is where we born and raised.  We lived there until my husband retired a few years ago.  We spent three weeks visiting family and friends.  It was a busy three weeks for us but it was great to catch up with everyone.  We stayed in our RV at The Refuge RV Park in Hastings, Minnesota.  We like to stay there because it is very quiet with large spaces.
I was fortunate enough to have a day out shooting with my Photo Buddy, Tina.  We started out by driving South from Hastings.  Our first stop was Lake City which is on beautiful Lake Pepin.  We had loads of fun shooting in the city park and at the Lake City Marina.  My friend was working on series called Empty Benches so we were on the look out for those.  Here is a link if you would like more information about Lake City, MN:

Our next stop was Wabasha which is where they filmed the movie Grumpy Old Men.  We did some shooting along the river and around town.   This river town is home to the National Eagle Center.  We did a tour of the facility and were able to see some of the eagles close up.  For more information check out the link below:

The last stop on our journey was the historic town of Red Wing which is home to Red Wing Shoes and the old Red Wing Pottery Building.  We did some shooting on the outside of the Red Wing Pottery Building of some of the artifacts from the factory.  We wondered through the building which is now home to many cute shops and restaurants.  For more information click on the link below:
