It's a bird, It's a plane, It's a... Really big boat!

So after our amazing day instead of going on a honeymoon (it's the summer and we want to go somewhere tropical, plus Montana summer's are incredible) we decide (I) that we would go to Duluth, MN and venture along the North Shore. Andy had never been there and I thought it would be fun to be tourist in Minnesota. We headed up to Duluth on Monday the August 22nd. For many years my Dad and I would always go to Duluth for opening Snow Cross weekend, The Duluth National. Every year we stayed in Motel 6. Lets just say my Dad was known for picking the worst hotels ever! It was a on going joke if he could top the weekend before as for the worst hotel. So, when we got to Duluth Andy asked me if I knew where we should stay. :) I said sure "how about Motel 6, It's really cheap." Let's just say this is not where you stay when you are on a "mini-honeymoon." We got our hotel and then headed to Canal Park. Andy was immediately wondering why we weren't staying in Canal Park. We walked around, watched a huge ship come in (750+ feet long), and then ate dinner (note to self: Grandma's is not good). The next morning we woke up and it was rainy. We were going to get up early and go watch a huge ship come in but we were exhausted. We got coffee and then drove hwy 61 along the North shore (we had a little detour as I gave Andy the wrong directions). We stopped at Gooseberry Falls and hiked around there for a bit (this is no hike like the ones in Montana), then we headed to the Split Rock Light House. Andy loved this. It was really cool. We went in the Lighthouse and up to the top. It was beautiful. We can say that this is one place we could settle in if we were ever coming back to Minnesota. That night we stayed in Canal Park, (Really Andy, Your giving up on Motel 6? Hmm?) Our hotel was Awesome, huge! We ate an Amazing dinner (Andy says it was the best Fajitas he has ever had, and my Fish tacos were Amazing). After dinner we went on a carriage ride around Canal Park (ahh, How romantic). The next morning we got up early, may or may not have stopped in a tattoo parlor, and then headed to Strawberry Lake. For a Mini-Honeymoon, it was Amazing. We had a blast!

Huge ship, 750+ feet long!
