The last few days of the trip were more rain than sun.
The high the last full day was supposed to be 80 degrees, but it struggled to reach 60.
A little rain doesn’t stop the kids from going outside – otherwise it’s time to snuggle up to a board game or deck of cards and be thankful we’re not in a tent in an all-day rain.
The sunset brought a ray of clearing on the last evening.
The final official vacation act is a stop at the Tower Cafe, amazingly enough, located in Tower, MN for a final breakfast on the way back home. The cross-winds were strong on the way home, so with the canoe on top of the van, we couldn’t truck along at 70 mph, so it was a slower-than-usual trip home, but as trips home from vacation go now that the kids are older, it wasn’t even close to the longest ride home.
I would like to point out that about half of these pictures were taken by me 🙂 (hence me not appearing in the pictures)
