Minnesota Vacation

gas: $525
lodging: $250
souvenirs: $125
44 hours driving with 5 children: priceless!

We got to visit with all the Minnesota Smiths on this trip. The kids spent time with their cousins at Grandma and Grandpa's house, the lake, the Minnesota Zoo and the Minnesota Science Museum. Grandma Smith made Maddie a new quilt while we were there to replace her old one which has been well-loved (and it shows!) On the way home, we drove through South Dakota and visited Mount Rushmore, which is always fun. Harrison learned all the presidents names from his older siblings and had a particular way of saying them--Roosebelt, Jefferson, Washington, and Winkin. We enjoyed our time together as a family.
