31 Weeks & A Trip to the N Shore

Last week Mommy and Daddy took me on my first road trip. We ventured away from the comforts of home and headed up to the North Shore of MN. We left on Sunday and took most of the day driving to Grand Marais. On the way up we stopped at Tobies in Hinkley to get caramel rolls and to go hiking at Gooseberry falls. On Sunday night we walked around town and had dinner at Sven and Ole's. On Monday we walked out to Artist Point, hiked to Devils Kettle and that night we had a great dinner at The Crooked Spoon and desert at Sydney's Frozen Custard. On Tuesday we grabbed breakfast from "The World's Best Donuts" before we heading to Duluth. We were supposed to stop at Split Rock Lighthouse, but Dad forgot and Mom wasn't paying attention. We met Grandma and Grandpa Stahl in Duluth and walked around Canal Park during the afternoon. Grandma and Grandpa watched me that night while Mom & Dad went to dinner for their anniversary at The New Scenic Cafe. On Wednesday we drove over to Wisconsin Point in Superior in the morning. That afternoon Grandma and Grandpa watched me again while Mom & Dad walked to Fitgers to have lunch at The Brewhouse and grab a malt at the Portland Malt Shop. After lunch I hung out with Grandma some more and Grandpa, Dad and Mom went on a tour of The Lake Superior Brewing Company. That night we all went out to dinner at Blackwoods. After breakfast Mom took us on a tour of where she lived in college and showed us around UMD and then we drove home.
