So how was the trip? Where did you go/what did you do? Hope we didn’t lead you too far astray.Thanks for the follow up. The trip was great. We got home late last night. I was gone for two weeks before the trip, so I was gone for about 3 weeks total and was ready to get back home. Now that I'm here and the weather is hot and humid, I'm ready to go back. :)
We took a lot of advice about the places to see, and we weren't disappointed.
After spending two nights in Minneapolis and hunting fossils with Veganerd, we went to Taylors Falls. We explored the park and then went on the paddleboat cruise. My wife took a ton of photos before realizing that she had a setting wrong. But she got a photo of my best side with the boat in the background.
After that we went to Bayfield Wisconsin. I didn't realize it was so far from Duluth, but it was right next to the Apostle Islands so that worked out okay. We had an AirBnB place for two nights that had an amazing view of the harbor.
We went for a day drive along the North Shore. We stopped and got some cheese and smoked lake trout and salmon. We then stopped at Betty's Pies and got some pie. We drove up to Grand Marais and stopped at a beautiful rocky beach. We planned to stop at Lou's to get some more smoked fish, but they were closed by the time we made it back.
Here is a photo of me picking rocks on the beach.
