What do you call a beautiful 70 mile ride with Ben to a wonderful, no reservation, no credit card taken, not open in the winter restaurant on Lake Pepin? I call out it a pretty awesome way to celebrate your two year anniversary.

If you have never ventured south to Pepin, I encourage you do to so in the next few weeks. Drive the Wisconsin side of the Mississippi and be shocked, like Ben was a few years back, by the beautiful terrain that exists in the midwest. Stop in Stockholm, cross the river and meander through Red Wing for a bit, and then end in Pepin to eat at Harbor View.

While Harbor View has changed ownership in the last few years, the food is still pretty tasty. Ben and I enjoyed the golden onion soup, the carrot ginger soup, a bison filet with mushrooms and cranberries, a nice bouillabaisse...and New Glarus Spotted Cow on tap.
