Alexandria, MN

This summer I am only taking one trip with LEEP. In late June I headed up to Alexandria, MN for a quick 3 day getaway. Unfortunately the weather didn't hold out and we were not able to do much because of the buckets of rain that fell. Though it was nice to go somewhere different, we didn't get to do much...

The fire pit where we were enjoyed sitting by the fire and making smores
during the only evening that we didnt' get rained out.

On our last evening in our cabin we had a "surprise" party for the birthday girl traveling with us. She was thrilled with the surprise and the group was happy to celebrate with her.

This "vacation" was a very difficult one for me. There were many things that didn't go well but the one that sticks out (besides the weather) was having to call the ambulance for one of the travelers. After spending 4 hours outside a bathroom trying to help her and then another 3 in the hospital ER, she was admitted and we had to leave her behind. Thankfully it wasn't anything serious and she was able to come home a few days later.

Though it was VERY difficult, I learned a lot during that little trip. Something I will take with me for many years.....
