Leaving with Laughs—and a Surprise Mist

One last hurrah with Beth’s family before hitting the road!

We spent the afternoon at the Science Museum of Minnesota in St. Paul—and what a fantastic way to wrap up our time in the area. This place is packed with hands-on exhibits, fun facts, and opportunities to touch, try, build, and explore.

And speaking of hands-on… Don lured Beth into opening a mysterious exhibit hatch door labeled something about human body and sneezing. Did Beth read the sign? Absolutely not. She opened it—on Don’s enthusiastic recommendation—and got blasted with a full-on mist of “sneeze spray.” She nearly jumped out of her skin. Don, of course, thought this was hilarious. 😆💨

Despite the unexpected facial hydration, it was a great afternoon full of laughter, learning, and quality time with family. Highly recommend if you’re ever in town and want to act like a kid—or prank like one—for a few hours.

Huge thanks to John, Theresa, and Mozelle—we had such a fabulous time with you all and loved every moment we spent together! We only wish we’d been able to connect with Beth’s other cousin, Logan, his wife Rena, and their adorable little one, May… but hey, that just gives us one more reason to come back. 💜Read more
