This past Memorial Day weekend, Tony and I took a short day trip to Red Wing, MN. You may recognize the name f
rom the famous pottery and boots they produce there. Beautiful town right along the Mississippi River. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a quick day trip. Numerous small shops line the main street and the town was packed the day we headed there. So much to do and see. Beautiful parks line the Mississippi River, lots of trails, fishing, playgrounds, museums, shopping, and dining at local restaurants. Something for everyone. We ate a nice cafe, walked through the boot museum and retail area, as well as the pottery museum and retail store. Of course I didn't go home empty handed. There is even a potter on hand making things right in front of you....very cool. Other than that we drove along the Mississippi into the parks as well as up to an overlook area. We even crossed the bridge into Wisconsin for a short spell. Overall, it was a pretty fun way to spend our day.

I couldn't believe how many there were on these logs!
