What a great trip!

We had a wonderful time on vacation and we are trying to get back into our weekly routine. We managed to produce around seven loads or so of laundry so John and I spent quite a long time folding and putting away clothes yesterday. The boys did wonderfully during the trip and napped, slept, played, and ate very well. They had great time. The area was gorgeous along the North Shore of Lake Superior with rocky shore line and lots of beautiful rocky cliffs. We visited a waterfall and a light house at two state parks. On one cloudy and cool day, we took the boys into Duluth to visit an aquarium and they seemed to enjoy that, particularly the "hands on" water display with little boats. The weather was cool and nice the entire week and rarely made it out of the 70's. We roasted smores several nights at the campfire where we stayed and I even got a latte or two on several mornings from the local restaurant and coffee shop. We spent many days biking and running on the beautiful trails. The primary trail is called the Gitchi Gammi and it runs several miles along Lake Superior. It was a wonderful trip and one that we will remember for many years to come! I am posting several pictures from the trip.
