Tourist Trappings

While Adam's parents were in town, we took a Sunday drive to the quaint and quirky town of Marine on St. Croix, just north of Stillwater. The St. Croix Chocolate Company had recently opened for business, which called for a celebratory treat.



After Marine, we detoured to the old Boom Site upstream of Stillwater, named for the logging booms that used to line the river. Now it's just a great place to rest and explore.

The late October dreary weather really added to the historical (i.e., "creepy") feel of the place. I'm sure it's a whole other experience in the summer.
