Memorial Day Weekend

This weekend Zach and I made a quick trip to Minnesota to visit my grandma! I haven't seen her for three years now and I can't remember the last time I went to Minnesota.

I will first say I have a new respect for single moms. Especially single mom's traveling. It is NOT easy. Thankfully had the nicest woman sitting next to me who happened to be going to see a brand new grand baby. So she held him for me and he melted like butter into her and fell asleep and she was 100 percent okay with it!

She loved meeting Zach and I think Zach really liked her too. She would say, "Can you sing?" and Zach would always bellow back at her. He was such a good boy on the trip. He put on a show for everyone and never got too fussy. Go Zach!

My dad went along too and he took us to a small town called Stockholm in Wisconsin where we ran into a rare gem, The Stockholm Pie Company. I ordered Caramel Apple Crunch pie. Let me tell you, I have never had pie quite like this. One bite and I was taken back at how good this pie was. I've been sitting here thinking of how to describe just how good this pie was, but there are just no words. I hope these pies are in Heaven.

I found out that they ship their pie!! So this will be my reward when I finish loosing all this gol' dang baby weight. 

Before we left we went to see my grandpa's grave. Zach loved sitting in the grass and staring at the daisy's that planted themselves right in front of the headstone. It is always good to go back and reconnect with family... and eat pie.
