Superior Trip

Last weekend, Ant and I decided to go explore more of Minnesota.  We went North and camped in a town called Two Harbors and it rained pretty much all night.  All of our stuff got wet, but we stayed amazingly dry.  Anyone have advice on camping with a toddler?  It felt like Ira took about 3 hours to fall asleep.  He thought it was especially funny to put his feet in our face and kind of fling his body all over our tiny tent.  When we awoke early the next morning, (again thanks to our little camping insomniac), we packed up and got ready for the day just in time to watch the marathon that started about a mile from our campsite and ran right past.  

 Here are some of the Lighthouses we passed.  We wanted to do more hiking, but it was pretty drizzly.

 Our final destination was a couple more hours North in Grand Marais where they were having a Wooden Boat and Summer Solstice Festival.  It didn't feel very summery.  In fact, I regreted not bringing my winter coat and an extra blanket for Ira. But it was beautiful and a charming town, and a place with such good fish, I'm sort of determined to learn to cook fresh fish myself.  Mmmm.

Sorry for the brevity and lack of details.  Right now, Ira's napping and Valine, Mckay and I are getting ready to go to the Mall of America.  Sweet!  Peace out!
