Karen is a wonderful, accommodating and attentive host.
Her house was a great place for my family's mid-country meetup. I and my wife live in the bay area. My parents live in Virginia, and my sister's family drove down from Winnipeg for a get together that we haven't been able to do since the start of the pandemic.
There was ample room in the house that we didn't feel cramped. The sauna in the basement was a great amenity for end of day relaxation, and the kitchen was well stocked with cooking gear for preparing meals.
Minneapolis in the summer definitely puts on a show as well. Ice cream and walks by the lake after sundown, art fairs in the park, sculpture garden at the Walker, available city bike rentals and great food all played into a great fun getaway/gettogether for my family.
Thanks so much to Karen for providing a great place to make it all come together.
All the best,
Ryan
