The stars aligned this year and Saint John’s homecoming happened to fall on MEA weekend. We used that opportunity to take a small vacation, traveling up to Saint John’s University. On Friday afternoon, the pottery studio had a lighting ceremony for the Sister Johanna kiln. After watching the ceremony and grabbing dinner at Sexton, we drove in to Saint Cloud for the boys’ first stay in a hotel. They were excited to make use of the pool and amazed that a couch could turn into a bed.
The next morning we drove out to SJU and used the nice weather to see some of the campus. We met up with Grandpa Larry, hung around the kiln, and visited the church and science buildings. While we never made it to the game, it was nice to spend a relaxing day seeing the other areas of campus. Needless to say, it was a quiet ride home that afternoon!
