Li arrived in Minneapolis Saturday night on her way to Arizona.
She brought us some homemade bread loaves and stayed a few days, got this barn swallow tattoo, and helped celebrate Meryl's birthday (today!)
We spent the day mostly in St Paul, walking all over both sides of the Mississippi River. After hitting the the Science Museum of Minnesota, we walked across a bridge to check out houseboats lined up along the docks.
Some of them are yacht-y, some of them are literally floating trailers, but some are awesome little houses that are also boats.
We drooled over some of the more creative ones, dreamed of houseboat rooftop gardens and life sailing up and down the river.
There was a few huge birhouses placed on the big dock support posts, so lots of barn swallows were darting around us as we had beverages on some weird restaurant boat.
C'mon.
That's some Albie Rock coincidence creating style, for sure.
But, of course, we didn't bring a camera, so no pictures for my blog.
And no pictures for Meryl's blog either, which was just created yesterday.
It might be a smarty-pants blog, or it might be a way to fact check the tall tales and outright lies I tell on my blog.
We'll have to see.
Anyway, Happy Birthday to her.
