Winona Bridge Update

Good news! As of Friday, June 13, the Winona Bridge (Hwy 43) accross the Mississippi is re-opened to cars and vans.

Winona Bridge !

The bridge linking MN to WI in Winona has been closed for an indefinite amount of time. This puts a bit of a strain on both current situations for Sarah's family and potentially for guests at the wedding come September. An update is suppose to come on Friday, June 13 informing everyone what is to be done with the bridge and how long the work on it will last. As soon as we know more we will inform everyone of possible accommodation alternatives to the Nichols Inn in Winona.

Date Day in Chippewa Falls

This past weekend we had a "Date Day" where I planned a surprise trip to Chippewa Falls, WI and the Leinenkugel's Brewery. We went on the tour, which was very fun, but the brewery does not operate on Sundays so we didn't see any action. We then went to the middle of nowhere to Autumn Harvest Winery and enjoyed the fantastic weather. Finally 80!!!
