Weekend of Adventures!!

Happy Saturday!!

Today has been an AWESOME day.

First, I'll start with last night. Around 8pm my adventurers wandered into Duluth (Kay and Mitch) for dinner, a short drive around Dtown and then a trip to the store for supplies for tonight's dinner. After we were out till almost 11, we ate some cookie dough and veg-ed on the couch until we were tired.

This morning started a little later than planned with showers and breakfast, homework til one and then off to get our adventures started. We went to Starbucks (because you have to start an adventure off right) and then walked around the Downtown Skywalk to explore the shops and skylife of Duluth. Finally, we drove down to Canal Park and ate lunch at Grandma's.

Mitch had a bufflao chicken sandwich (which he said was delicious). Kay had the Fish 'n Chips (which she really enjoyed). I had the Full Monte. I'm telling you about this sandwich because if you EVER go to Grandma's you need to try it. It's American and Swiss Cheese layered with smoked ham and turkey in between bread. The entire sandwich is breaded and deep fried. They serve it with fruit... because I'm pretty sure the fries would kill you.

After our filling lunch, we ventured out to the Lakewalk, climbed some rocks and then entered the Marine Museum. Walking through the museum was incredibly fun. We got to look at the history of Lake Superior shipping (and Great Lakes Shipping in general). It was cool because the museum includes information on Marquette, Michigan too which is where they're visiting from!

After the museum we went to the beautiful Water of Superior art gallery and then treated ourselves to caramel apples from the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory.


What a wonderful day! Later on we might hit the casino-- but we'll see. :)

Up next on our list of to dos is dinner: Steak Ums with fresh fruit salad and then a nice fine dessert of cookie dough and sparkling juice!


Always,
A very happy H.Eilene
