Hudson, Wisconsin

---

We enjoyed out time in Hudson! We "moochdocked" on Family's driveway; thank you Adam & Jessica! May be one of the quietest places we have stayed and beautiful with lots of trees and privacy. Mike's sister Tamara was visiting them part of the time we were there. She was our tour guide to explore Stillwater, MN a charming river town across the St. Croix River from Hudson. We strolled the main street checking out the gift shops, bookstore, antique shops, and samples some ice cream. While visiting we had a driving tour of the twin cities, Minneapolis and St. Paul. Jessica was great to show us the sights. We stopped in to see Adam at work and had lunch from a food cart in the skyway. So awesome to have the elevated walkway to connect buildings downtown. Mike and I enjoyed walking in downtown Hudson, stopping in some of the shops and walking by the St Croix River. We enjoyed watching our great niece and nephew play soccer. Then we were treated to a Minneapolis United FC soccer game against the San Jose Earthquakes. The game ended up tied 1:1, but it was so much fun! Still so many things we did not do in the area, we will have to return!
