"What happened, you guys came here by car!"

Yes, we did.  Tonight was the end of the season picnic for the Seward Concert Band that I play clarinet in.  This year's picnic once again coincided with Hillary's mom's visit for Theo's birthday weekend. But this year I was struck by how many people noticed our car-full arrival. Perhaps we should have parked out of view!

For a car-free family visits by friends and family with rental cars are a minor bonanza. In fact in past years, soon after each of the boys were born, these rental car-full visits by Hillary's mom racked up hundreds of miles through trips to outlying stores and visits to friends and sites in the greater Twin Cities area.  With some luck I think we'll keep the mileage down this weekend.
