We like to check out drive-in movie theaters when we travel. Tammy found the Stardust Drive-In and we wanted to see Twisters so off we went. This place was packed full of people. There were probably 50 people waiting at the concession stand. So many pickups with air mattresses in the back!

At Canoe Bay there are very friendly deer all over the property. They run around and seem to have a delightful time frolicking in the woods. They wont let you get too close but they also don’t run away when you approach.

50th Street is closed at France Ave this summer and it is fun to see the area embracing a temporary pedestrian mall! I’ve suggested in the past this area should be permanently car free so it is a fun experiment.

I always love watching smoke billowing out of the Big Green Egg. Three pork butts in for a finish smoke after 20 hours in the Sous Vides at 165 °F.
