Dad's Visit to the Cities


As I mentioned in the kitchen remodeling post, my dad came up to visit and help out with some projects around the house. The original reason he came was to help with some of our backyard landscaping. You've heard that we have a small jungle on one side of the house, well we're hoping that that weed jungle will die off this winter so we can start fresh and new with some true landscaping next spring.

My dad offered up his services free of charge (or in exchange for dinner and a Twins game) and pruned the bushes and hedges, and did a fantastic job cutting down branches from our mangled trees. We had big plans to move the hostas we have growing in the backyard to the side yard. And then...it started raining. So we moved inside to work on the kitchen project.

But projects aren't the only thing we did while my dad was here. We had to make a visit to Matt's Bar. One of the places that claims to have the true Juicy Lucy burger.




It was delish!

And of course we went to a Twins Game- and enjoyed the crazy heat on the Budweiser Deck.




It was so nice to have a family visit! I always look forward to having visitors, so if you're ever in town, please let us know! We'd love to have you!
