We recently got together with Aidan&#8217;s longest known friend (the daughter of a dear friend of mine that I&#8217;ve known for quite some time). The two of us [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This summer we decided to forgo major travels and enjoy a series of brief excursions just beyond our usual stomping grounds. Our most recent adventure took us to the gateway city&#8211;St. Louis. Now, I didn&#8217;t know too much about St. Louis, but in my imagination I kind of likened it to vacationing in Gary, Indiana [...]]]></description>

The I&#038;M Canal was commissioned in 1823 in order to connect Lake Michigan with the Mississippi River (via the Illinois River). This marked the first complete shipping [...]]]></description>

We were all a bit sad yesterday to leave Whitecaps Cottage and our views of Lake Superior, but we had a good week there&#8211;chillaxin&#8217; (a word Mike adopted recently) and exploring the area. I simply love the water, and being so close to [...]]]></description>
