A family road trip from Blue Mounds to Burnsville and Hermantown—with golf, treasure hunting, pizza, and plenty of room to simply be together.
The family time is fixed. Everything else can flex with weather, energy, and what sounds fun—including making sure John gets to relax and enjoy the trip, too.
Leave at 8:00 a.m., pick up Claire in Middleton at 8:30, and have lunch at Norske Nook in Osseo. Invite Lars to visit Eric, see the new boat, and tour Stillwater before delivery dinner at Grandma Barb’s.
John, Jess, Eric, and Spencer play Baker National. Eric books as early as possible and targets an early-morning tee time. Claire, Barb, and Lars explore the Chaska Goodwill Outlet, with Barb driving.
Breakfast with Grandma Barb, depart by 10:00 a.m., settle in with Grandma Ann, and order Sammy’s Pizza for an easy family dinner.
John, Jess, and Claire play 18 holes at Pike Lake Country Club. A flexible Duluth stop is optional before the final dinner with Grandma Ann.
Wake up. Load the car. Drive like hell back to southern Wisconsin. Drop Claire in Middleton, then John and Jess continue to Blue Mounds.
Add a suggestion, correction, question, or heads-up. Everyone’s notes will collect here for the family to review.
