Last week, I was fortunate enough to spend time up north, at my Uncle's cabin. It's located 3.5 hours northwest of the cities...nestled on a small/medium lake.
As a child, I spent a lot of time at this cabin. Exploring the woods, fishing off of the dock, taking the row boat out to the island and pretending it was my own little oasis. They were great times, and I was extremely ecstatic to grant little man some of the same memories.
The week started out with a bang. We rented a pontoon for a few days, and anchored on the sandbar. The sun was out, the eagles and loons were letting their presence be known. Could you ask for anything more peaceful?
The only day it rained was a day I had planned on running errands, since I had only intended on staying up north for a few days instead of an entire week.
Oh, and let it be known, we also went to the local turtle races (don't be jealous).
It was a nostalgic week for me. Relaxing and just what the doctor ordered.

After spending some time up north, I've brainstormed a little bucket list for the remainder of 2010:
- Go canoeing on the St. Croix - it's something I've always wanted to do...any takers?
- Take a day trip to Duluth and go down the Timber Twister - I saw a news story about it, and it looks like an absolute blast...again, any takers?
- Explore one more state park before the winter frost sets in
- Schedule a couple of hours at the spa - because I'm worth it.
Do you have a bucket list going for yourself? Do you have any suggestions for mine?
