Hello, and welcome. You personify the "can do" of this discussion.
I see that you have moved to northern Minnesota to be near family - have you checked out any of the Road Scholar programs available here?
Also, there are so many opportunities for a variety of short road trips in MN - have you checked out any of them near you? We like to do them with one grand at a time for "special time." If you are the active sort, there are also extensive paved bike trails in the state.
MN Dept of Tourism has a ton of regional and activity related guides.
What is your favorits activity so far?
Sue

Hi, Sue! I'm aware of Road Scholar (I remember when they were Elderhostel) but have not done any of their tours or activities. I'm not sure how I would do on a tour as I'm used to traveling by myself. But I will check out some of them - thanks for the idea! And yes, I've gone on a few road trips - up the North Shore is my favorite place to go. I've visited Grand Marais and Grand Portage State Park (we live in Duluth).

This year I went on a 2 week road trip with my 12 year old grandson - we drove through North Dakota (stopping at Teddy Rosselot National Pk), then Montana, Idaho, and ending in Salt Lake City, Utah. We stayed with my brother and his family for several days and then we all went down to Moab for 3 days. After that, we drove to Colorado to visit my sister for 3 days and explored the area. Finally we headed back home through Nebraska and South Dakota, making stops at Mt. Rushmore, Crazy Horse and Badlands (my favorite!). Then back home to Duluth. It was a wonderful trip and my grandson really loved it!

My favorite activities are walking and boating - I love to canoe although I have not done much of it here. I need to get out more this summer. 🙂

What part of Minnesota are in?
