America's birthday and I could not have ordered a better day. Amanda and I headed to Pepin Wisconsin for a lunch at Harbor View Cafe. We took 35 on the Wisconsin side so we could get a scenic view of the Mississippi. On the way home we stopped in Red Wing, MN to see the boot outlet store and grab some candy for the family. I'm going to let the pictures tell the story today so here we go...

**Update**
Amanda and I [pictured below] took the bike over to see the air show and fireworks at Commons Park in Excelsior tonight. The place was an absolute zoo but luckily we were able to find a prime spot since we didn't need as much room to park. The air show was actually really cool, there were some sky divers and some vintage planes toolin' around. The fireworks were about on par with most of the shows I've seen over the years but the people watching was pretty spectacular. Getting out of dodge was a real pain. There was bumper to bumper gridlock with no signs of hope. I pulled up the maps app on my phone and we were able to divert through some roads that were "blocked off." It felt like we had about as much seat time coming home from the fireworks as we did from our trip to Pepin and back. No complaints about any of the riding though. As far as the bike goes it handled everything today with ease. The one thing I did notice tonight though is the controls on the handlebar are not lit so navigating with my thumb to change the radio or high/low beams or turn signal can be clumsy - it would be great if they were backlit. It looks like it may rain the rest of the weekend but I sure hope it doesn't because I already want to get back on the saddle.
