Como Park Conservatory

When David and I head over to Minnesota, we always stop at the Como Park Conservatory and Zoo. It's free (or a whopping $2.00 per person if you choose to make the voluntary donation), so it makes for a cheap, fun-filled date. If zoos are not your cup of tea, you can just visit the conservatory where there are many lovely plants and flowers. There was a Bonsai exhibit this time around. I took many photos but the one I chose for my blog was my favorite.

Hudson Burial Mounds Park

David and I went to Minnesota for part of my vacation time. On the way back, we stopped in Hudson, WI. Hudson was a favorite place for me when I was working on my bachelor's degree at UWRF. I was so disappointed to find that there were many changes in Hudson. There was considerably more development than when David and I made a trip over there last year. Pleasantly, one thing that remained the same was Birkmose park, where there are three burial mounds.
