Bizzzaro World Midwestern Twins

The more I learn about Minnesota, the more I love it.

My feelings about my Midwestern home away from home were only bolstered when I had the opportunity to not only celebrate a birthday, Minnesota style, but facilitate an extended interview on the Potomac River with not one, not two, but THREE Minnesotans (and Adam G., who is engaged to a Minnesotan).

Meredith S. H. planned a very fun few days in the District for her parents who were visiting from Minneapolis including a criminology/nautical themed surprise birthday on Wednesday evening (featuring a DELICIOUS banana mascarpone cake by chef EB).

We also managed to squeeze in some quality sailing time with Peter G. and the SH Fam hence my opportunity for the extended interview.

I learned so much more about Minnesota during our sail--but the new facts and stories I gleaned about Parents S. H.'s life stories were even more fabulous.

We discovered that Mr. H. is secretly Peter G.'s bizzzaro world Midwestern twin! They have sort of similar jobs, love sailing, and most importantly were wearing almost matching outfits during our sailing outing!

Lastly, I couldn't resist posting this photo of a small sailor friend we made on the dock of Belle Haven Marina...
