up north (again)

Well, this marks my third consecutive weekend spent at the Lake. I know Minnesota's Fall season will only last another month, so I have been trying to get up to the cabin as much as possible. The colors have yet to turn, but we enjoyed running and biking through the woods just the same. Dustin has become quite the long-distance runner, too! My brother Mike and his girlfriend Jenny also wanted in on the Fall fun. We all drove up Friday nite and had the place to ourselves (free of parents, etc). After a long reunion-like party Friday nite, the four of us went golfing the next day. I think I shot my best round of the year (with a legit 54----on nine of course)! It was Jenny's first time out on the lynx and she proved the real winner on the day w/ a great attitude. Just when I feel like I might-kinda-maybe-sorta be getting the hang of the this sport...winter hits!

The best part about being Up North during this time of the year is that,

other than a few local fishermen, no one else is around.

Grad school is exhausting and stressful, but a few short days Up North has proven to be the best recipe for relaxation and rejuvenation.

(ahem...relaxation comes in many forms among the Parry clan)

Good to see you guys this weekend!

Wish you lived closer... :)

Have a great semester - see you guys around the holidays!
