Midwest is best! I grew up in Wisconsin, and my husband grew up in Minnesota. We met in Duluth while going to college, and have started our wee family here in Minnesota too. Currently, we call Minneapolis home. The Midwest, particularly the Upper Midwest, just feels like home to us. We love exploring this area, from road trips to cozy cabin stays. Especially for short school breaks, like MEA, you’ll find us visiting fantastic states like Wisconsin, Michigan, and North Dakota. On a mission to discover the best places to eat, things to do, and places to stay, we hope our adventures inspire a few of yours!
