The weather was perfect, cool and breezy with a nice smattering of sunshine. We ate to our heart's content, told stories of getting lost and eccentric policemen and guardian angels, walked along the river bank, breathed in gobs of fresh air, and in all had a great time.
It's amazing how, with just the knowledge that in six weeks I'm leaving for Germany, I automatically notice and appreciate the little things that I won't have when I'm gone, like the smell of Minnesota, pumping gas at a gas station, going on picnics with family and friends. I'm always keenly aware that I won't be able to appreciate them for much longer, so I "drink in" every experience. Yes, even cleaning my bathroom.

Christi, leading the way...
It was a day well spent.
