We're back from vacation...

Ron, Jackson and I just spent the last 4 days on Pelican Lake at Breezy Point Resort, north of Brainerd, MN. We really enjoyed our time together, and Jackson was an absolute joy to travel with, he loved our adventures and was great fun at all times. He found great pleasure in watching the geese and seagulls from our patio door, getting corn for our hooks so that we could reel in the sunfish, swimming in the kiddie pool, playing at the playground and in the sand.

We all found our favorite stop on the trip to be The Chocolate Ox in Nisswa(we biked the 7 miles to and from), the best candy store in all the land! They had the world's best selection, and a lot of nostalgic choices, from Wonka Bars, Lemon Heads, Boston Baked Beans and Mallo Cups to a massive collection of Jelly Bellys, Sweedish Fish, and Gum Drops. We settled on some Grasshopper Malted Milk Balls, Sweedish Fish and fabulous turtle-like treats, all to be washed down with a bottle of Bubble Up. Jackson was given a Sweet Tart Lollipop by the owner when we arrived and was content clutching and licking while we perused the shops in Nisswa.

Here are just a couple of photos from our vacation. I took 118 photos!!!
