Our Weekend Up North

Last weekend my hubby's company honored a group of people that worked on a project together that was quite significant for the company. Hubby and his co-workers were treated to a long weekend at a resort the company owns Up North. The best part? Spouses were invited too! Hubby had been to this resort before and spoke very highly of it, so I was excited to be able to go with him.

We got to fly up there on the company jet. That was way cool.



I always love the view from a plane:



The resort was beautiful and set between two lakes. The weather for the weekend was just perfect. I had fun taking a bunch of pictures with my new camera. I kept it with me the whole time.
 



 


Did they feed us well? Oh my, yes! We ate at this outside area for several meals. (See? I told you the weather was perfect!)


And because I like to take pictures of food, I prepared a collage of just some of the food.
Great. Now I'm hungry and I want to go back there.

Hubby and I got around on the resort property on golf carts. We could even take the golf carts into the woods and had a blast doing that. (Although maybe someone should invent a golf cart with shock absorbers. Those tree roots and rocks can do a number on the head.)

Someone we were with called the weekend Camp For Grownups.

We had field trips:

A pontoon boat ride.





And a trip to see the head waters of the Mississippi River. (That was pretty cool, since I've never seen the headwaters of any river.)


Yes, I know I look awkward. No, the water wasn't that cold. Maybe it's because I feel/look silly in the visor? I was just trying not to get a worse headache from too much sun.

And to continue with the camp theme, we had crafts!






A lot of pictures, I know, but it's hard to choose!
