Days go by fast. Braaten Beach Bash day. #2. (BBB D2). Visiting family members and doing some “driveby tourist” stuff. Since I grew up close to here, nothing is really new but fun to see it again. Beach Bash and Paul Bunyon!
Kind of the same as yesterday. (Just testing to see if you recognize it!)
And the sign goes up every year! Still the same sign since the second year.
Did you know that blogs are typically reader supported? So, buy me a hot chocolate! Or not!.
No visit to Bemidji is complete without stopping to see another incarnation of Paul Bunyon. Of course, I’ve seen him other places as well, and so can you! I was here when I was a kid and there was nothing around. Just the statues and the lake, no trees, no other buildings. Beach Bash and Paul Bunyon, don’t know if that means anything???
And there was another one in Illinois as well.
And for my Canadian friends, we have a Timmies here!
For the uninitiated in other countries, Tim Horton was a hockey player in the NHL for 25 years. He and a business partner founded the first coffee and donut shop in Hamilton ON in 1964. Unfortunately, Tim Horton died in a car accident in 1974 but his legacy lives on. They are the largest fast-food company in Canada (outpacing McDonald’s) and the largest coffee seller (outpacing Starbucks) by a wide margin. (Tim Hortons may be a story for a blog post someday if I can figure out how it fits the Road Trip theme! Maybe I can go on a road trip to see how many Tim Hortons I can visit!)
…and so it goes. Another Beach Bash. Not bad for spending a long weekend with my in-laws! Here is a link to the next post.
Want to see a shop for my road trip photos? You can have them printed as wall art or puzzles. They also work on coffee mugs, t-shirts and more! So, take a look. Maybe you'll see something you will like!
