One Last Day

Katers flew back to Maryland last evening, but not before we had one last day of fun.

We decided to take a lunch to the Minnesota Arboretum, and then stop by Grandma Gloria's bench, which is close to the sculpture garden, and overlooking the new Chinese garden. The Three Mile Drive took us most of the way, which we decided was the best thing to do because we didn't have much time before we had to leave for the airport.

The weather was absolutely perfect with cool breezes and blue skies, and our sandwiches and lemonade from the CoOp tasted pretty darn good.

We explored their latest seasonal exhibit, the YouBetcha Willow structure, goofed around some in the gift shop (do we look okay in large hats?), took a few selfies, and admired all the flowers and shrubs. I especially liked the 'Blazin Rose' Bloodleaf, and wondered if it might look good somewhere in our own yard. Maybe we should get an Arboretum membership ...

When we got back, Katie managed to get Koshka stuffed into her cat carrier, and then thought to tuck a tee shirt of Bruce's over the top and a little bit over the sides, hopefully to help her stay more calm during the flight home. I guess it worked, so that's an idea we'll need to remember for the future.

Katie's back home now with Avi, and I'm already missing her. Next time we see each other might not be until after baby is born!
