Our Family Vacation - Summer, 2008

Finally - a real family vacation!  Brian, the kids and I all went up north for a long weekend (July 31-August 3).  We had a great time.  It just so happened that these huge 1800's style tall ships were on a 10 city tour while we were going to be in Duluth, so we checked those out while we were on our way up to our cabin on Thursday.  We stayed in a small two bedroom cabin just south of Two Harbors and right on Lake Superior.  It was so much fun - rustic, but not too rustic.  :)  Kate and Jack loved wading in the water and throwing rocks.  Man, is that water COLD!  We had a cute little fire ring outside and our own private little beach.  It was very nice.  We went into Two Harbors on Friday to check out the train depot and also saw a large ship being loaded with taconite.  We ate supper at The Vanilla Bean Bakery and Cafe.  Delicious food!  On Saturday we went to Split Rock Lighthouse and Gooseberry Falls.  Sunday we had to be out of our cabin by 10am, so we pretty much just packed up and came home after that.  We all had a great time, but it was nice to be back in our own beds - with air conditioning!
