WEDNESDAY

Algona to Northwood

 

  Wednesdays ride took us from Algona to Northwood.  I treated Jake, Jake and Kelly to their first breakfast porkchop, took in the worlds largest bullhead in Crystal Lake, and checked out Chris' Gelato stand that afternoon.  That evening found us miles northwest of town at our host family's (Annie's folks) summer house.  Burgers, jello shots, a golf cart, and hot tub made going back to Northwood seem downright silly.
