We have been going to Duluth Minnesota every May or June since we met to celebrate Eriks birthday. (Missed the years when the border was closed)
We love the drive down, and usually stop for a few hikes…this year we chose not to feed the mosquitoes…they seem worse this year.
We did stop at the scenic lookout in Grand Portage. I am always in awe of all of the different greens in the spring and early summer!
I love Canal Park so we always book a room there so we can walk to restaurants and explore.
Much to Eriks delight I’m sure, I didn’t take the usual pictures in the restaurants haha.
This spring trip we usually do some shopping for supplies…this year was mainly parts for the backhoe on Eriks side of things.
My shopping in my opinion was way more fun!!! More Pantographs to add to my collection…it’s always so much fun to have more to offer and to learn, and of course fabric!!
We also visited 4 quilt shops missing one but will get there next time 😊
There is a new granddaughter arriving in August and the quilt requested is for pink!!!!
I really love my morning coffee and I really don’t like drinking from paper cups…so I almost always bring a favourite mug 🥰. Staying at the Inn on the Lake we request lakeside and ground floor and enjoy walking outside from the room.
Oh and the view!!
The hotel also offers bikes to borrow and the trails are fantastic in Duluth!
We stopped along the drive home…I thought of our rock collecting grandchildren and the fun they would have had!!
Lake Superior really offers spectacular views!! The lake was so calm yesterday.
After stopping at the DQ in Grand Marais for a bite to eat…we were on our way home. Sven and Ollie’s is open again which was our first choice but this popular pizza place had a very long line!
It’s good to be home!
My Longarm awaits!
I am really looking forward to my visit with Ana Paula and seeing her Studio and Open House today!
