Everyone has a different favorite season and mine happens to be summer. Often during the winter I will reminisce with my friends about lake time and remember why I put up with the many months of cold. Because if you have ever been lucky enough to experience the beauty of Minnesota in the summer on the lake or in nature, you know how truly wonderful this state can be.

With the new season of spring here, even with more snow being threatened. I can't help but start thinking of lake season and summer vacations and where one should check out. Looking for new ideas, went to Facebook and asked the simple question of:
