Duluth

Bryan was so sweet to surprise Elijah and I and take us on our first family trip with the 3 of us! He took us up to beautiful Duluth which I had never been there in the summer and we had beautiful weather, and a great time.

This is at the Leif Erickson Rose Garden. It was a beautiful view and I have never seen so many roses in different colors. They were beautiful!

This is Daddy and Elijah at the Lift Bridge in Canal Park. We were able to see the lift bridge close and go up for a few boats. That was fun to see. We walked around Canal Park for a few hours, I really enjoyed reading about the history of all the anchors, and different historical pieces around town.

This was about 3-5 miles across the lift bridge on the island at the beach. It was very windy! It is crazy that this is a lake it feels so much like the ocean.

All of us at the beach.

After being up their I have a lot more curiosity about Duluth and the Great Lakes. I know they were used during the war for shipping but beyond that I do not know much of their history. It is so beautiful up there and such a different terrain. It sure did not feel like Minnesota.

Elijah did great for his first trip. It took a bit longer to get there and get home with him, and a few extra bags but it was a great time together, just the 3 of us!
