On the road again...

But this time it's for pleasure. After working a full month in fifteen days, I deserve some time off. Yesterday, Beth and I flew to Minnesota to spend a week with her family. If you remember, we spent some time here about this time last year. This is my second time to the upper Midwest and I must admit, I do like it. The mosquitos are killing me though. The weather is very mild, in the mid 60s to mid 70s. It was hotter here last year, but also much stormier. I got my first experience with tornado warnings here last summer. After partially living in St. Louis the past year, I've gotten used to those, although they still scare me.

Today we are headed to Spooner, Wisconsin where Beth's grandparents live. We'll be there until Tuesday, and we'll head back to Las Vegas on Wednesday. I am looking forward to a week of relaxing country living that will be sure to recharge the 'ol engine.
