Duluth

We just returned from a trip to Duluth. It was a great couple of days spent at the Edge Waterpark hotel with Brent's parents and then Curt, Christine, and Sebastian joined us over the weekend. Duluth is such a great city to spend time in. We loved spending time at the waterpark with Audrey. She wanted to go swimming all the time.

We visited the Duluth Zoo which we had never been to before. It was great going on a weekday, no crowd at all. Audrey loved all the animals and still talks about the bears and monkeys she saw. One day we hopped on the trail on the lake and walked to Canal Park, which was about a 7 mile trip both ways. We stopped at the rose garden and walked around and then had lunch at Amazing Grace, a fun little hippy cafe.

The weather was really nice and we had a great view of the lake from our hotel. We tried out some great places to eat for supper, GB Schnieders, Fitgers, and of course, Annies Mexican Restaurant, we go there every time we visit Duluth. Audrey had no accidents the entire trip, we made plenty of potty breaks and checked out the bathroom at almost every place we visited, sometimes more than once:) Audrey was pretty much a Grandma's girl the whole time in Duluth. Grandma dressed her, did her hair, took her to the potty, pushed her in her stroller, it was somewhat of an obsession. I think Grandma needed a break after the vacation, ha. We had a great time, but it was great to get home and get back to our routine.

We stopped at Spirit Mountain on the way out of town and Brent took a ride on the Timber Twister. It's a rollar coaster that you ride in an individual sled. It runs year round, I kind of want to check it out in the winter too.


Very relaxed watching Shrek on the ride home. Vacation is done.
