What a great weekend!

We had such a nice weekend. Friday after work we met our friends, Mike & Deb, for a burger and a beer. We hadn't seen them all summer so it was very nice to spend a little time with them to catch up. Everybody is so busy with kids, grandkids, etc., we don't get to see them enough.

Later Friday night we took off and ended up at Treasure Island Casino.

When we got there, we watched a little TV and went to bed. Saturday morning we got up and had a bite to eat and went off to Red Wing for lunch and a little exploring. We had lunch at a quaint restaurant in the bottom of a building and it was very "retro". It was called Marie's and we had the salad bar - everything was homemade including

the dressings, the salads, etc. Yum.

We found a nice campground with a marina on the Big Muddy that we might have to check out one of these days.

We proceeded down to Lake City and stopped at a little place overlooking Lake Pepin for a "break" and saw a paddleboat docking after it had been out for an afternoon cruise. The Red Hat Ladies sure looked like they were having fun. Heading out down the road, we decided to stop at Frontenac State Park and saw lots of wildflowers and a breathtaking view of sailboats on Lake Pepin.

When we got back to Treasure Island, we decided to go up to the Casino to do a little dancing and who should we run into on the shuttle bus from the RV Park but Steve's cousin, Steve Rolland. I am serious, they have the same name. This morning (Sunday) we went down to the marina to visit them and when we got there, they were gone up to the casino to eat breakfast. We walked the dock and looked at the beautiful boats until Steve & Linda returned to their fabulous boat and then had a tour of their boat and had a chance to do some visiting. We watched them leave the dock and then we came home.

Well, that is the end of our weekend. Tomorrow is the start of another work week. But we have some wonderful memories from our weekend.

Hopefully I will have another post next week with some pictures of the Fall Colors. We are going to Jay Cooke State Park for another interesting weekend. Hope you have a great week and that you enjoyed my post.
