Up North

Our summer vacation was a long weekend spent up on the North Shore. I think we'd all been looking forward to it since the last time we were there about two years ago. Duluth . . . the name of the city just brings on a feeling of adventure and freshness.

We played and played and played some more! Our weekend was filled with a scenic ride on a train . . . one of the best playgrounds ever . . . swimming in the hotel's pool, watching boats come and go and the lift bridge rise and lower, and of course ice cream!

Some friends of ours decided to take in the scenery for a day and joined us for a bit. We traveled together to all the good places to throw rocks and listen to the lapping of the waves. Ebug took an unexpected dip in the frigid cold waters via a slippery rock and about scared me into labor. After getting him warmed up and in some dry clothes we hit Betty's Pies for some grub and pie. Yum!
