Wherever your Dodge is, sometimes you just need to get out of it. Jaime and I took a chance on the crowds and traffic and went to Duluth for Labor Day weekend. I know it was a while ago, but I thought I might share some of the more pleasant memories...
 |
| Driving along the North Shore of Lake Superior. It is ultra beautiful. |
 |
| Standing along a scenic vista--it almost looks like the ocean. |
 |
| I guess these were left here for someone to ponder the meaning of life while staring out into the abyss. |
 |
| I highly recommend stopping at Tom's Logging Camp. I hear they have a petting zoo, but I stopped for a great value on Minnetonka Moccasins. |
 |
| Jaime is precariously perched here tying his shoe. You can walk about a mile out into the water on this concrete....thing. |
 |
| Split Rock Lighthouse. Beautiful and fully restored. Great tour and great atmosphere. |
 |
| Look up! You can see the lighthouse lens--the only mercury float lens still in operation today. I totally sound like a tour guide. |
 |
| The clockwork that turns the lens around. Looks pretty cool! |
 |
| I fell on these steps while trying to take a picture. |
 |
| Gorgeous, brisk weather! This trip to Duluth was refreshing and relaxing. I highly recommend it--and it wasn't even too bad on one of the most tourist-y weekends of the year. The drive was gorgeous and the views were spectacular. And, if only for a weekend, sometimes you just need to get out of town. |
