The 2nd day of the trip was full of fun things. Eric made me breakfast and then we went into town for some coffee. When we walked into the coffee shop everyone stopped talking and stared us down...Very awkward. You know you are in a small town when..?? After coffee we drove by the paper mill so I could take some pictures of the massive stacks of trees that have been cut down for the mill (sorry this probably isn't too eco friendly). Here is a picture of me by the trees so you know how big these stacks are.
For lunch we took a boat ride to a family friend's cabin. During the boat ride we were being chased by a big black cloud. Luckily we were able to eat lunch inside while it rained but we couldn't go back home until the storm passed. On the way back from lunch Eric, Rachel (Eric's sister), and Blaine (Eric's cousin) had a little fun on the water. Rachel and Blaine wake boarded while Eric skied.
After our water activities we said goodbye to Rachel since she was off to work and we were going to leave for our next destination. Here are the three of us with Rachel's new kittens Joey and Jake.
For dinner we went to the wonderful Sha Sha Resort to eat Nachos and Wings with Eric's Cousin Lars and his wife Tara. After dinner we went on a boat ride with Eric's Uncle Charles, Aunt Kris, Lars, Tara, and Blaine. Sunsets on Rainy Lake are always beautiful....this one was no exception!
After the boat ride we jumped in the car to drive 3 hours to Eric's other Aunt and Uncles house in Castle Danger, MN on Lake Superior (Yeah, that's right...how sweet is that name!?!).
All in all a great day!
