What a great weekend for a road trip!

Joe was off this past Saturday, so we decided to take a road trip while the weather was still nice. As we had a pretty hard frost a week ago, it took its toll on the fall colors that was left. We still took a chance, and headed to Wabasha and Red Wing to check out some fall colors.

While in Wabasha, we went to check out the new building for the National Eagle Center. Wow, what a change! So much more space, and they even gained another eagle since we were last there. From Wabasha, we went across Lake Pepin into Nelson, WI. and hit this cheese store I love to go to when I am nearby. We found some wonderful sounding cheeses, and will try later this week with my mom (who is as much of a cheese freak as Joe & I).

After the cheese trip, we stated back towards home, and made a stop in Red Wing at the Uff Da Shop (gotta love the Scandanavians, eh?). While there, they were demonstrating how to make Lefse (which I have never been a big fan of). Well, I changed my mind after trying what they made there- yummy! (shhhh....don't tell my mom...she has been trying to get me to eat it for years.)

Below are some pictures from our outing. The first 2 eagle pictures are of Angel, and the last is Harriet. Both eagles were saved and rehabilitated, but will never fly again.

Joe is off again this coming Saturday, so we are hoping to plan another road trip if the weather cooperates.

TTFN!
