There's more sunlight, the sunlight has a bit of warmth, and the snow is pretty much all gone. That's enough for me! With spring comes new energy, new zest. Here are a few of the local places I think highly of, places where you might enjoy some springtime fun: [Grundhofer's Old Fashioned Meats](http://www.grundhofersmeatmarket.com/) (Highway 61 in northern Hugo): best known for their brats, but for me the crab legs and smoked salmon are amazing. I grill the crab legs -- I'm not very adept at cooking fish, but crab legs are super easy. [Keller Golf Course ](https://www.ramseycounty.us/residents/parks-recreation/golf/golf-courses/keller-golf-course)(Maplewood): Going in the early summer is best. After that, the course starts getting beaten up a bit. A lot of nostalgia at that course. [Cup & Cone ](http://www.cupandconewbl.com/)(White Bear Lake): Really need to go during the off times to avoid a 20-minute wait....or bring good company and wait out the long lines with good talk and some people watching. I am curious how they even stay in business because the prices are so cheap and the amount you get is crazy. [Tamarack Nature Center](https://www.ramseycounty.us/residents/parks-recreation/tamarack-nature-center) (White Bear Lake): Excellent trails with a good mix of hills. Pretty much every time I go there I see the turkeys and deer. It's a great little oasis that's just a short drive. Share some of your favorites and get out there to enjoy the spring. No mosquitoes, a bit of warmth, and good times are there to be had. - [cup n cone](https://www.gallatin-law.com/blog/tag/cup-n-cone), - [Keller golf](https://www.gallatin-law.com/blog/tag/keller-golf), - [local fun](https://www.gallatin-law.com/blog/tag/local-fun), - [grundhofer's](https://www.gallatin-law.com/blog/tag/grundhofers), - [personal views](https://www.gallatin-law.com/blog/tag/personal-views), - [maplewood](https://www.gallatin-law.com/blog/tag/maplewood), - [seaon](https://www.gallatin-law.com/blog/tag/seaon), - [tamarack](https://www.gallatin-law.com/blog/tag/tamarack), - [spring](https://www.gallatin-law.com/blog/tag/spring), - [white bear lake](https://www.gallatin-law.com/blog/tag/white-bear-lake) ![Dan Gallatin](https://www.gallatin-law.com/hubfs/assets-mjfw/site%20images/Dans-Desk.jpg) ## [Dan Gallatin](https://www.gallatin-law.com/blog/author/dan-gallatin) Dan is a lifelong resident of Minnesota.
