I learned today that I may just be the worst Minnesotan ever. I've lived here my whole life, only venturing to Iowa for about a year before coming right back, and I've only done ONE thing on this entire list - oofta. I'm kind of embarrassed to admit that.

It's not like I haven't taken in a lot of what Minnesota has to offer. I've been to dang near every corner of the state, I've slept under the stars, swam in many lakes, hiked through several forests, shopped at local boutiques, and drank my share of Minnesota made drinks.
