What's your perfect Getaway? Is it relaxation, or adventure? A long flight, or staying close to home? In search of the perfect vacation getaway for the Domeier family, my wife Amy and I had no shortage of ideas: The Jersey shore, a trip out West, maybe even a Cruise. But since there was also a desire to see our families, we realized the perfect combination of Family, adventure and relaxation was a place we both knew very well: Our Home State of Minnesota!
Known as the Land of 10,000 lakes, you'd be hard pressed to find a more beautiful one than the famous Gull Lake, located in the North Central part of the State. Natives call it "going up North', we call it going back Home.
From spending time with my wife's parents, her siblings, and a bevy of young kids, our boys had lots of time to hang with their cousins. But the highlight was spending quality time with my 91 yr. old mom, Phyllis, who's smile continues to shine a bright light into our lives. For the record, she's in fine health, and says 'Hello' to all of her 'QVC Friends'!
The Adventure?? Yes, there was the Pontoon Boat, and the Speedboat, Golf and Tennis, but can you say Ziplining?? While I felt like I might have to coax my two teenage boys to participate, it was their old man of felt a bit nervous just prior to his first 'launch', gliding through the trees in the Minnesota Forest. Nick and Josh loved, my wife (the smart one) wisely stay safe on the ground. But I highly recommend giving it a try!
As much fun as it was to stay active, some of the best times were hanging out lakeside, with just a great fire and a beautiful sunset.
Did we have a good time? Oh yah, You Betcha!!
