It was a helluva day trip to Little Falls, MN. 

We encountered a group of weekend warriors wearing pleated khakis, ate someone else's pizza, saw an incredible photographer present his latest project, visited the Black & White cafe, almost bought everything at Treasure City, and eavesdropped some family's conversation at Coborns.

Even a day trip can be packed-in with so many incredible experiences. We need to get out more often.
