Aaron puts the finishing touches on as he loaded up the wagon for the Patterson's first family vacation. We are on our way to Ely, MN with a short stop in Duluth for an overnight.

Here is us on our return trip home thru Duluth. Because Megan was so ill on the way thru the first time, all she saw was the inside of a hotel room. So we visited Canal Park for a while, and a nice lady took this photo of us. It is one of 2 family photos from the trip, the other one has a thumb on Megan's head...but the story is good.
