Day 7 - On to Minnesota

We spent a good portion of the day at the Kalahari - getting our last slides in before we headed West. Jake was able to finally get some quality time on the wave rider and had a good time boogie boarding.

We stopped at a Target on the way to Minnesota and I was able to acquire another pair of shorts.

One of my vacation rules is that I do not shave on vacation - so I am starting a bit of a beard. This will not be a permanent feature but keeps the ladies off-balance.

Clark Griswald: So, this is the old homestead, eh?

Cousin Eddie: Yeah. I don't know for how much longer, though. The banks been after me like flies on a rib roast.

The ride to MN was smooth (~3 1/2 hours) and we arrived in time for dessert with family. Luckily my Dad has a house that has enough sleeping capacity to easily support my sisters family of 6 and our family. My brother Jeff arrived from Boston (via plane) just before midnight. So the full Olen contingent was now in MN.....
