A Little Of Owatonna

These first pictures are from Mineral Springs Park. This park is where legend has it that Princess Owatonna drank the waters and was healed, thus the name of the town being born.
We hiked to the top of the springs...and once again I was in the wrong shoes. Did not know this was in the plan book for today...That's what I get for marrying Mr. Adventure.
(Shh..Don't tell him.. I love every minute of it!!)

Leaves are falling!!

WOODS!!! TRAILS!!! HAPPINESS!!

The Springs
Bottom and Top

Around the square... The large building behind..
Federated's New Building. Not like they didn't have enough here.
I believe I have counted at least 6!

One of the 10,000 Lakes

Birdhouses are on top of the pole.
I can think of a lot of people who would love to sit there for a while!

Owatonna High School!
Go Huskies!

One of the beautiful houses here.
Sorry about the red light in the way!
Would have had more of the houses, but we couldn't stop to take pictures, lots of people out today. Must have been the sun. And people tend to steer clear of tags that do not say "Minnesota.." Wonder why?!

Love you all!!! Hope we have a lot more sunny days to come!!!

  6. Looks like a great place to live -- for about 9 months!! The fall leaves are really getting pretty and ours are too. Not surprised that Thomas took you on a long hike!! Really appreciate your pictures and your updates. It seems like a nice town. Miss you.
    Love, Nana
