Yesterday after getting ourselves and our T@B situated, the two of us decided to head off on a bit of a hike despite the mosquitoes. We grabbed the portable Thermacell and headed off to hike on the grounds where a young Charles Lindbergh, Jr. spent his summers on the banks of the Mississippi River. Since it was later afternoon we thought to save touring the Charles Lindbergh House and Museum until today. That was not such a good idea, it’s closed today and tomorrow. Looks like we’ll need to return another time to tour this Minnesota Historical Society site, named for US Congressman Charles A. Lindbergh, Sr. Still it’s good to get a feel for the environs that helped shape the personality of a premier aviation pioneer.
What a treat to pause for a BBQ lunch with the locals at Pearl Country Store and Barbecue on US-441 in Micanopy, Florida. It’s a taste of the Florida we remeber from our youth.
By deliberate choice we were in Medina for all the winter holiday festivities from Candlelight Walk in the days before Thanksgiving through A Christmas Carol and A Celtic Christmas as well as an Alex Bevan Concert and a historic house tour all the way through Medina’s 31st Ice Festival but perhaps the highlight was the town hosting hundreds of folks whose homes and lives were devasted by Hurricane Helene at the A Promise of Christmas Event the middle of January. It’s an honor to be a part of this amazing community!
The warmth we anticipated when we headed to the Caribbean in mid-January didn’t really materialize but the fun we had with our dancing friends and the great crew of the Margaritaville at Sea Islander more than made up for the not so favorable weather.
