A Visit to See Auntie Em

We recently got to check out Rochester, MN where Emily has relocated for her residency in Pediatric Neurology. Her townhome is gorgeous and we were impressed by the great weather (it cools down there in the evenings!) and outdoor lifestyle there. Emily said that since folks try to take advantage of the warmer months EVERYONE there seems to have a motorbike (there is an entire floor in her parking garage at work for them!) and some other major outdoor hobby for the summertime. Everyone is also super friendly and Emily told us you can make friends (like the kind you hang out with) just asking for directions! It seems like a great place. Of course, Emily made it clear this was also a recruiting trip so that Kevin will strongly consider their program in Ophthalmology:)


The Plummer Building...in lego form. The hospital campus was EXQUISITE with unique artwork and architecture in all the buildings.
Getting her groove on - on Auntie Em's porch where we had a delicious Saturday afternoon meal made on Emily's new grill

One of the views from the porch. The bridge behind us is one of several footbridges on the path that runs for miles behind Emily's house.
