Moving on to Minneapolis area



On Monday, September 8, we left Fargo and set up camp in St. Cloud.  While there we spent time touring the area, especially Rockville where we knew Tom's great grandparents had settled.  

Monday evening we dined at the St. Cloud Ground Round restaurant, visiting with owner Zach Krukenberg, Tom's nephew.  If you're ever near St. Cloud we recommend you stop at this Ground Round.

At the Ground Round, we watched the Vikings lose to the Packers...

The next evening we dined with Roger and Kay Worner in Maple Grove.  It's so much fun to see good friends and catch up on each other's lives!

The next morning we had breakfast with former NDSU faculty member Sharon Cobb and her delightful granddaughter!  Two-year-olds don't often stop for pictures, however!

We left the Twin Cities and headed south on I-35 to Lakeville to spend an evening with niece Leslie Johnson and her husband and sons.  It was delightful to see the energy of these three little boys!  The boys became RV novice mechanics, helping Tom set the camper down for the evening in the cul de sac.  Other neighborhood children joined the crew for the evening.

Niece Janet Hansel and her two daughters came from the Cities to visit for the evening.   We ate hearty and visited until travelers had to leave and we had to hit the sack for we had an early morning departure for Iowa planned.
