At the Parade, Lake, River?

Dead town!  But I got a lot of drawing done from the accessions from yesterday and they are looking good.  I had to miss the Franconia 4th of July parade because of work.  This is a great parade because no one stands on the side to watch; everyone is IN the parade!!  There is  an incredible potluck of food afterwards, too.  The unincorporated village of Franconia is now practically a museum village of carefully restored homes right on the St. Croix River.  I will include some pictures sometime when I go down there to swim.  I keep asking myself: Where is the ocean?  Its got to be around here somewhere...I will need to head east to find the closest one (for real gsb, I will be picking u up along the way although we will need to stop to do the motorcycle and meet the bunny thing or can we take the bunny on the motorcycle to the ocean?!).

Its great to be back on the mainland in order to properly roadtrip again.  I have already made plans for a Thanksgiving trip to visit friends in upstate NY, its so wonderful to know I can get in the car and drive drive drive and not just in small concentric circles around a tiny island in the middle of the ocean.
