Dear Minnesota Lake Towns,
It’s been a long winter, and as docks start to go into the lakes, and we make sure our tackle boxes are fully stocked, we are eager to head your way again.
I have been so anxious to get back to the lake, it’s still a bit early in the season, but a couple of weeks ago it was particularly nice out on a Friday and I found myself day dreaming about going to the lake. Loading up the car on a Friday afternoon, hitting the road, and visiting my lake town once again. Scooping the minnows at the gas station, heading to the small town grocery store for a bag of chips and a slushie, making a last minute pit stop at the liquor store that is connected to the bar. It all sounds so magical after being away for half a year.
I love that breath of fresh air when I step out of the car in my lake town, it just hits different. It’s a breath of air that recharges a tired soul after a long work week and welcomes in the possibility of fun and relaxation.
I can’t wait to see that “Welcome to Swanville” sign once again this spring, and I’m looking forward to another summer at my favorite place.
See you real soon beloved lake town.
The Small Town Tourist
