Memory Lane

We went on our first road trip last weekend to the lovely city of Willmar, MN where my cousin got married. As most of you know, Art grew up in Willmar. Unfortunately his parents moved to the Twin Cities after he graduated from high school, so I was never able to get the grand tour until now. While he may not admit it, Art was LOVING the trip down memory lane. We drove past the house he grew up in, his cabin, his high school, the golf course where he frequented...we even went past the skating rink where Art was a 'rat rink' (I'm still not sure what that is, but I do know it was documented in the local paper at one point). It was quite endearing to hear him talk about the place he spent the first 18 years of his life.
