Duluth

What a vacation! Even though it felt like three days, it was only 29 hours long. Here is a rough time line of events... First blueberry picking, drive for three hours, yummy dinner, watch a crazy, but exciting show about king crab fishing, sleep, church, nap, to the LIGHTHOUSE!!!, nap, roller blade, dinner, off to home.

Here are the pictures of us in the actual city of Duluth. After eating dinner the first night, we went strolling along Superior's Lake front. Right next to the land mark bridge, I found the "castle" that I grew up with seeing on my dad's uniforms. Yep, we came across the Army's Corps of Engineers buildings. Actually, that little castle emblem was all over the city. Ahh, the memories.

The bridge was really cool too. Every time a boat needed to get in or out of the Harbor, the bridge would rise. When it was down though, it was low enough to the walking path that you could swing on it. Of course every few feet were signs telling you not to, but Joseph needed to do just for spite.

Sunday morning, we woke up to get ready for church when Joseph discovered he was missing something. He brought is suit, white shirt, tie, church shoes and socks, but he forgot the pants to his suit!!! I really wanted him to go with the white shirt and black shoes, but wear his Khaki shorts. It would have been funny. But of course, he wouldn't, so he just wore his shorts and a polo. You would think we was an investigator in the church!

After coming home from Sacrament meeting, we took a power nap and packed up to go see a lighthouse. More stories on that in another post. As we were coming home, we read our favorite book Harry Potter. It is so exciting! But once we got back to Duluth, we strapped on our roller blades and went up and down the shore of Superior lake - by the way that is one gorgeous lake! It was lots of fun but it was hot! So we stopped for an ice cream cone in the middle. Kemps Ice Cream has the best strawberry I have ever tasted. (I also like the name).

After blading, we ate a delicious dinner at Grandma's and drove home reading Harry Potter. It was a real quick trip but worth every minute and penny. We were able to get of the stress environment of Plymouth and remember why life is so good. It will be a weekend we won't forget!
