Memorial Day Weekend: Itasca State Park

For Memorial Day weekend, we drove 5 hours up north to Itasca State Park, where the Mississippi River begins its amazing journey to the Gulf of Mexico. We camped, biked, scootered, and hiked all over this special state park. Although Presley declared, "I actually don't like to hike." We also went to a campfire program on our state bird, the loon, saw the largest red and white pines in Minnesota, and got hit by a hail storm (a crazy 10-minute storm that knocked out the skylight on the trailer). It was definitely an adventurous weekend!
