10/13/18 Back to Burt’s for the annual pumpkin patch visit! We headed out to the big farm where we rode the hayride, ate some popcorn and pies, and picked out all our adorable pumpkins to decorate our houses! We even happened to run into the Ashby family and got a big family photo, complete with …
Fall apple 7 course meal
10/1/18 Today we hosted our 4th 7 course meal (2nd since we have been married)! This was our first Fall themed meal, and it was made even more unique by the apples that were featured in every course. We used the apples we picked last week at BJ Reece orchards, and homemade everything from scratch! …
Coney Island
6/30/18 After the spike ball tournament at MCU Park in Coney Island, we wandered down to the boardwalk for a quick dinner. What a bustling and beautiful area!

Central Park Spike Ball

Downtown Duluth

Last day of our honeymoon

They had a huge inflatable obstacle course, snorkeling, kayaking, and a beautiful pool and beach area. We also shopped along the area …
