I spent my summer exploring my home state of Minnesota. Was surprised to discover so many cool places, beautiful lakes and intriguing history. Still working on blogging about all my experiences, but the video above captures a small glimpse of all the incredible things I enjoyed during my summer staycation in Minnesota.

What a fun summer staycation. It goes to show you that you don’t need to go far to have some fun.
So true…loved exploring my own backyard. And still have so much to experience!
Your video highlights was great. I absolutely love the sunsets! Now I know what to do in Minnesota!
Thank you so much…still really new at this video thing…grateful for iMovie to walk me through.
I enjoyed learning about all the historic places you visited!!

Wow! So much great info in one post! I appreciate you linking these all together for easy reference.
Thank you…I was surprised by how much I had already blogged about…still many more stories to share.
You certainly had a great summer! I loved watching from afar!
Thank you so much…appreciate your support!
Isn’t it interesting how we can live in a place most of our lives and never see or do much that others come from thousands of miles to do and see? I haven’t been to a Minnesota yet but when we do I have your post bookmarked for things to do
That’s awesome. It truly is a beautiful state with so much to do. I’ve lived here 26 years and I discovered so many cool things – and finally made it up to the Mississippi River headwaters where you can wade across.
Great video! I have enjoyed reading all about your travels through your beautiful state.
Thank you! Appreciate all your support!
I am bookmarking this for if I get to visit Minnesota! There is so much to do and see! The Lakes are gorgeous!
Thank you! I hope you get the chance to visit!
So many awesome places to see! It’s fun learning about all the lakes and places to visit in MN this summer as I have followed along!
Thank you so much…greatly appreciate it!
It has been fun reading about your summer staycation. It is fun to learn more about where you live.
Thank you! I’ve had a lot of fun sharing my discoveries with others.
What a great series! It’s so awesome to find some of the best things to do in your own area.
Thank you so much! I really enjoyed my staycation this summer.
So many hidden gems in Minnesota. After a couple of years here, I’ve come to really appreciate its beauty. I’m going to try to embrace the Winters too with sports and big wheel toys
Going on my 27th winter and have to confess I don’t always welcome winter with a cheerful heart, but still a beautiful place to live. I’m in the south metro…where are you?
What a fun summer! I love that you stayed close to home and still found so much to do!!
I ran out of summer before I ran out of things to do…so bring on a fall staycation!
I like to learn about new to me places and unusual places. The state’s largest candy store has me curious, although that could be a dangerous place to visit. Hand Lake looks like a beautiful bit of nature.
That candy store was pretty fabulous and Hand Lake is absolutely quintessential Minnesota – a beautiful and peaceful lake.
