This past weekend the Burritt family took their first long road trip to Minnesota. We packed up the family truckster on Wednesday and drove to Minneapolis where I had some business meetings on Thursday and Friday. While it was a long drive to Minneapolis, Charlotte was really good except for the last 30 minutes when she was telling us she had enough of the drive and wanted out. While I was working, Donna was able to enjoy the nice weather and the surroundings of the North Loop area of downtown Minneapolis. After my meetings on Friday, it was time to pack up the car again and head to Ely, MN to visit Donna's Uncle and Aunt who have a house in Ely, MN. It was about a 4 1/2 hour drive to Ely when once again Charlotte was thankfully good. Mom and Dad were ready to get out of the car to enjoy a relaxing weekend just as much as Charlotte. We spent the weekend with Uncle Ron and Aunt Diane in their log cabin in the woods of Ely. Ron and Diane were happy to see us and opened their awesome home to us. The weather was beautiful all weekend and was really nice to spend a few days of relaxation in such a great atmosphere. Diane fed us all weekend long with some local treats including some of the best brats I've ever had from Zup's. The pictures don't do their house or the woods justice as both are absolutely beautiful. We can't wait for our next visit!!
