After moving to Florida, we came to realize that we had never made a road trip up to Canada while we lived in Minnesota. How did that happen?! I have no idea. So, now that we are back in Minnesota (and finally settled...
We didn't think it would be quite so hard to taste every one of the burgers. Starting out, we foolishly ate almost all of the first three sliders we picked up. It was the First Annual Twin Cities Burger Battle, and I can officially say,...

Gliding across the swampy water, the airboat suddenly slows and comes to a stop beside a ten foot toothy reptile. We peer in awe as the alligator rests nonchalantly without any movement. Our guide explains that there are several alligators who make this vicinity of...
