This past weekend was Natasha's bridal shower in MN for her side of the family and her MN friends. I didn't have to be at this shower, so I hung out with Matt for the day.

We took the boat out on the river. Matt was happy because it was probably one of the last times for the summer and he hadn't been on the river in awhile. We started on the Mississippi from his friend's private launch and swung south towards the St. Croix. Here we went through the locks, which was new for me. It wasn't as fast as Open Road Tolling in IL, but it was free.

We passed under 2 of these elevator bridges for the rail line. They're old, but antique. The towers are huge and say The Milwaukee Road at the top. I'd love to see one of these in action!

I've seen drive-up liquor stores for cars, but never one for boats.

Here's a shot I snuck in on the way back. You can't even tell this was an arm reach. We're both reflecting on life; me, about to become a husband to a wonderful woman; Matt, about to father a child with his loving wife. I had an awesome time relaxing on the boat and taking in the scenery of the river. It was a great opportunity to enjoy some time with Matt without the ladies (no offense) before the wedding. Thanks so much for the awesome afternoon Matt!
