I’m Back!

Sorry for the later than normal post, but my family and I attended the Minnesota Twins-Tampa Bay Rays game last night and it was after midnight when we finally got home, so…

I slept in a little!

By the way, after blowing the lead with two outs in the bottom of the ninth, the Twins lost to the Rays 5 to 4. It was our first game at the new Target Field and what a beautiful stadium it is!

Although…

Take plenty of cash or make sure you have an ample amount of credit on your cards available when you go, cause you’ll need it!

You may have also noticied that I have been “MIA” the past week. I don’t think my mug appeared on any milk cartons, but it did seem like I was away for quite awhile!

I spent the past week with my oldest son and his Boy Scout Troop at a high adventure camp called “Sea Base” in the Florida Keys.

We were the crew on a sail boat called the “Island Rose” and we sailed around the Keys for the better part of a week. We returned to the Twin Cities this past Wednesday and I have been trying to get caught up ever since!

It was interesting attempting to draw a cartoon yesterday while still feeling like I was at sea! Even though I have been off the water since Tuesday, I’m still feeling the up and down motion of being on a boat!

It was certainly a trip of a lifetime and a memory I will always cherish since this was my son’s last “high adventure” trip as a scout.

Of course there were plenty of funny moments and I will go into much more detail in my coming posts!

With my son, sailing the Keys!

Have a safe and happy 4th of July!
