Okay, so I’m on a roll. And this isn’t necessarily “in chronological order”, but I thought I’d just make a short post here to let you know where our summer has gone. The end of August is less than a week away and students and parents all around us are all preparing to return to school. The big Get Together (Minnesota State Fair) is about to begin. It’s hard to believe it isn’t June anymore!
As I think back, most of the summer seemed to revolve around our big summer vacation. I spent the majority of May and June researching and planning for our R Family Vacations Alaska Cruise in July. We had an amazing time on board, and would love to tell you all about it if you’re interested. Just ask! By the time we got home, though, it was near the end of July already!
Other summer highlights included seeing several shows at the Guthrie Theater. We’ve been season ticket holders for several years now, and have seen some amazing shows. In May/June alone we saw 4 shows, including 3 by Tony Kushner for the Kushner Celebration. The facility and shows have been great, and in fact, this past weekend we saw Ella, the first show of the new season. It was a pretty amazing concert/play chronicling the life and music of Ella Fitzgerald. It’s still playing, and I’d highly recommend it.
Jeff did some running too, including the TC1-mile and the Minneapolis Half Marathon. He’s now getting ready for the Twin Cities 10-mile race in early October.
Other than that, we’ve just been keeping busy around the house. We hope you’ve had a great summer too and look forward to seeing or hearing from you soon!
