Our Virginia residency chapter has come to a close.
After a couple flights and a timely in-air nap, we flew into Rochester, Minnesota. We officially begin our year in Rochester.
Forget what you hear about cold winter. Forget mosquitoes and snow accumulation. All four seasons are beautiful here. Well, to me anyway.
We stayed at my parents condo while our rental needs to be cleaned. With a free day for the three of us, we woke with the sun and set out to explore our new neighborhood.
The Soilder's Field park is two blocks from us and located on the corner of awesome and spectacular. This park is great. With separate areas for different ages of kids, Little David had the pick of the litter in the truck playground.
