The lighthouse views

The views! The views I tell you were amazing. Even though they required going down 300+ steps to see all the views, it was worth it! Even though we had to go back UP the steps while carrying a tired Gemma, it was worth it!

Also, Amelia thought it was funny to hold a lighthouse in her hand.

Duluth day 1: Split rock lighthouse

We ate a picnic lunch in the car and then headed out to stop #2- Split Rock lighthouse. This is another stop my family made on our family vacation many years ago and I don't remember anything about it. But, it was just down the road from gooseberry falls, so we went to check it out.

We took a little guided tour and saw some spectacular views. The kids enjoyed going up in the lighthouse - it was pretty interesting even though the steps on the way down were a little steep for this mama's liking!

Add some grown ups and it gets more difficult!

Still some funny faces

Sweet girls

Apparently, Gemma was unhappy with the location of the last group picture. She was much happier when she got to the rock she had picked out for herself.
