It was a very long time coming, but my mother in law finally made it to Canada!!!! (my father in law's first time too, but there's a story behind my mother in law's first time). Back when my mother in law was a child, her family traveled to Michigan picking cherries. They were within miles of the Canadian border and her Daddy planned to go. However, for some reason, he ended up not going, and so she had all her life never been to Canada.

We got her there- not through Michigan of course, but through Minnesota.

Glenn and I have been to different areas of Canada, to Toronto, to Quebec, but this is hundreds of miles away from there. The scenery just above the Minnesota/Canada border is beautiful.

These small mountains were so peaceful:

You can tell the boys enjoyed their traveling time! My precious sons!

We all agreed that we want to make this trip again, with more time to spend. Last year we visited South Dakota (Mt. Rushmore) with my inlaws. We LOVED that... but I tell you, we all said we would love several days back in the North Shore/mountain area of Minnesota and into Canada. God was good to allow us this time! My mind even rested!
