Since I'm doing laundry now would be a good time to introduce our Moosescot.
We really need to hope on that wayback machine again to properly tell the story of our Moosescot.
In 2003 I proposed to Jen. I had talked her into a camping trip around Lake Superior for vacation. My Grandma, Aunt, Uncle and Cousin lived there so we visited often. I had always loved Canal Park and the Aerial Lift Bridge. Plus driving in on the interstate you crest a hill and the entire harbor is in view. At night it is all lit up and is an amazing view. When I decided I wanted to ask Jen to marry me, this is where I wanted to do it. I wanted to share those memories with her.
So after a horse drawn carriage ride, with the lift bridge in the background I proposed.
We continued our trip around Lake Superior. It truly was a great trip. Since I had done this trip with my parents when I was a kid I shared with her my memories. The night before we crossed back into the States we stayed at a campground in Pancake Bay. I had been telling her about moose I had seen as a kid and she wanted to see one in the worst way. So after dark we set out in search of one. We drove for hours. We finally gave up about 1 am. Sadly we never saw a moose.
Fast forward to now and we were in the girls favorite gift shop, Posey and Jetts. They sell Warmies which are stuffed animals that you heat up and it releases a lavender fragrance and it retains heat for a bit. Libby is obsessed with them. She found a moose and insisted we needed one for our trip.
I of course told her no as I wanted to surprise the girls as I thought it was a great idea. Heidi really wanted to get it for us so she gifted it to us the night before we left.
Please meet Jen our Moosescot!
