Daytrip
Today my parents took the kids for an overnight, as they do every August, heading west to Clear Lake. Matt and I decided to take advantage of a kid-free day and take a little daytrip ourselves. We headed east to Decorah.
The main destination for our trip was the Seed Savers Exchange Heritage Farm. The farm is open to visitors, and you can take self-guided tours along the trail system they've developed to view their preservation gardens, Ancient White Park cattle, historic orchard, and more. We spent about 3 hours walking around, getting a close look at some the thousands and thousands of varieties of heirloom vegetables they work at preserving, taking notes of what might be good to try next year. I highly recommend a visit - we enjoyed it very much!

Stay tuned, more tomorrow!
