Ok, I’m gonna have to type really fast because I only have 21% battery life left, and we can’t charge it unless the generator is on. Peachy.
We drove to St. Paul/Minneapolis (no idea how to spell that) today. We decided to go to a place called Minnehaha, which means Laughing Water. They have an utterly dazzling waterfall. I think it was 28 feet, but it might have been higher, it was just a mother’s guesstimate.
Minnehaha has 50 miles of bike trails surrounding the park and cities. We decided not to go that far, it would’ve been fun though. We grabbed our bikes and headed out. We stopped at a remake of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow’s house. We thought it was his actual house, but we were disappointed. Longfellow wrote a famous poem/song about Minnehaha, The Song of Hiawatha. The poem richly describes Minnehaha, but apparently the writer had never even set foot in Minnesota. Weird. We made a few other stops too, the waterfall, which like I said before, it was astounding (of course ya’ll know I love any waterfall).
We also biked to Fort Snelling (nice name huh?), but we didn’t tour it because it was closing and we’re planning to see a couple other forts on the trip. We hung around the beach that was on the Mississippi. Darby, Tatum, and Katty dove in, they were wearing their clothes but didn’t really care. I personally had no desire to get wet, so I stayed on the sand. I know, I’m a party pooper. But every party needs a pooper, so that why they invited me……I’ll stop now.
We now just entered North Dakota and are stopped for the night. We really have no idea what we are doing tomorrow; we’re kinda just winging it. That always makes an interesting vacation.
Ok, I have a 14% battery life left so I better scat. I want enough to blog tomorrow! Miss ya’ll a bunch!

SMILES!
