We just got back from a great trip to the Brainerd area. We stayed at Breezy Point Lodge, which for many reasons, I would not recommend it to others. For one, the water smelled so bad, I had a hard time getting myself clean in the shower in the time I could hold my breath! Two, the cleanliness of the rooms gave me (and surprisingly even The Husband) a bit of the creeps. Third, the pool area and the locker rooms were, plainly put, NOT clean. However, we still managed a great time. We spent very little time in our room and lots of time seeing the surrounding towns.
We all found our favorite stop on the trip to be The Chocolate Ox in Nisswa(we biked the 7 miles to and from), the best candy store in all the land! They had the world's best selection, and a lot of nostalgic choices, from Wonka Bars, Lemon Heads, Boston Baked Beans and Mallo Cups to a massive collection of Jelly Bellys, Sweedish Fish, and Gum Drops. We settled on some Grasshopper Malted Milk Balls, Sweedish Fish and fabulous turtle-like treats, all to be washed down with a bottle of Bubble Up. The Boy was given a Sweet Tart Lollipop by the owner when we arrived and was content clutching and licking while we perused the shops in Nisswa.
