My name is Berit Thorkelson, and I'm a travel writer. (www.trustypony.com) I grew up in LeSueur, Minnesota (also known as the Valley of the Jolly Green Giant) and I've spent my whole life exploring Minnesota's charming resorts. I love finding that perfect place to relax and enjoy a beautiful slice of my home state--for me, and for all types of readers looking for all types of vacations. It isn't hard. There are hundreds of great resorts, large and small, all over Minnesota.
