WPA architecture

After our short foray into the forest, we came back to find a WPA era lodge and small museum.

Duluth day #3

The third day in Duluth we only had a short time before we had to leave. We looked at all the options and decided on a nearby waterfall/hiking adventure at Manitou Falls park.

The falls were a quick walk from the parking lot and beautiful. The kids had fun and we enjoyed getting out in the forest a little. Until one little person had to use the restroom!

Water park

The pool was an indoor waterpark! When we came back to the hotel and although it wasn't as big as other places we have stayed , the kids still had a lot of fun.

Kids at the beach

They didn't even swim and sand was EVERYWHERE.

A boy and a stick

Words are even necessary.

Sea gull run

When we arrived, this wall was covered in seagulls. They were everywhere. It took William 2-3 seconds to figure out how fun it was to run along the edge and make them fly away....

Duluth day 2- another lighthouse

After watching the barge go under the bridge, we walked back towards the car. The walk took us right back to the aquarium. Our day passes were still good, so when the kids asked to go back in for a minute, we were happy to indulge them.

When we left the aquarium, we had to walk by the playground and of course, you can't just walk by the playground MOM.

While standing at the park, John pulled out his phone and conducted a little research about our next destination. What did we do before smart phones?

We took a quick drive to the Wisconsin side of the lake and found this isolated gem. It was pretty, it was free and the kids were DELIGHTED at the opportunity to play in the sand with a stick again. They loved the beach. Loved it. We could prob lay do a beach only vacation and they would be in heaven.
