July 22-July 26, 2016 Still in Minnesota!~Arriving at Town & Country~Farmer's Market~Minneapolis & Pizza!~Bike Ride

Friday 22, 2016- Today our departure is a little different than usual! We don't need to be in a hurry as our next destination Town & Country RV Park in Savage, Minnesota is so close we're not even going to connect, I'm going to follow behind Lennie!😩 Since we're not in a hurry, first we're going to walk up to the Casino!

                             Look at that.....no one's waiting for a ride, & yet we're walking!?!

                                            The Courtesy Bus is free, yet we're walking!?!

                                 There's the Casino, as you see it IS within walking distance!!!

         BUT.....it's a HOT WALK today, we're under a heat wave, & yet we're walking!?!

(Where's  that Ice Bucket challenge when you need it!?!)

                                                       Oh thank goodness....we made it!!!!

                                    Here we are walking around just like we belong there!

   I wasn't sure if photos were allowed on the Casino floor, so this picture was taken on the sly!?!

                                                                 Future Gamblers????

 This random stranger, just started talking to Lennie! Len's Veteran's hat is what initiated the conversation. Turns out today was this stranger's 83rd birthday, not the reason he was visiting, he was visiting for his grand daughter's wedding!

                                            Oh boy.....the pastries! We didn't buy anything!

         Let's go back in the heat & walk back to our site, it's time to head on down the road!

It's so hot out, I think even this Indian Chief is looking for water for his horse!?!

 Okay Otis, we're back, lucky dog you got to wait in the A/C while we walked to & from  the casino & for what? Just a little Looks See & a Free Lemonade & a Free Root Beer!!!! You have to do it while you're here!!!!

Notice we're not connected??? I can do this!!!

                                                                  Our Destination!!!

We're all checked in, I follow Len to our site. Lucky for me, someone else will pilot Len into the site!

We are set up & it's just too darn hot to do anything! Even the pool & playground was empty of kids & their parents!

Too hot outside......looks like Lennie & Otis had the same idea!?!

After dinner, it has cooled off, & we're tired of just sitting ! We decide to take a drive! We drive into Minneapolis, its' just a short distance. Tonight just a short walk & a quick look around but we will be back again. Minneota is routinely named the most bicycle-friendly state in the country with miles & miles of dedicated paved paths that wind along the Mississippi River & into neighboring parks & cities.The people in the Twin Cities LOVE their parks & definitely use them!!!!

                                             Catching a glimpse of Minneapolis' skyline....

                             Otis is happy, new smells! (He's finally walking on all 4 paws!)

    We're at Lake Nokomis, I almost want to jump in the lake with all the others cooling off!

                                                      Here's a stunt we both want to try!

                                                    Everyone is enjoying the lake!

Now that we've cooled off a bit we can go back to the RV Park!
