Since I have a two week trip planed in November I don’t have any long vacation planned over the summer but there have been a few daycations. A one day trip to somewhere within driving distance for a few hours of fun and activity. Soyjoy offered to sponsor one of these trips and sent a really great package to get us started for the day, a backpack, cooler, sunscreen, sunglasses, water bottle, a U.S. travel guide, Pineapple Soy Joy bars, a $50 Amex gift card, two workout shirts and towels and a great digital camera. The Gourmand and I headed up to Taylors Falls (about an hour and a half from the Twin Cities) for some hiking, sightseeing, ice cream, and a boat cruise. A perfect day long trip!
Taylor’s Falls is on the Wisconsin/Minnesota border and is part of the Ice Age Scenic trail, it is home to some of the largest glacial potholes in the world! Beautiful cliff scenery, great hiking and camping (if that is your thing). This was my first time seeing it and I would love to go back in the fall when all of the leaves are changing colors. We walked the open areas and took lots of pictures.
We took a 90 minute boat cruise on the St. Croix river and heard about the history of logging, the settlers, saw lots of kayaks and canoes. Such a perfect way to spend a summer day.
My favorite picture of the day-
