On Our Trip to Minnesota…

Written by admin on April 20th, 2008

pic 1 We stopped at a chocolate factory in Baraboo, WI. I picked out a vanilla caramel treat and tried to share some with a cow. He wasn’t very interested.

pic 1 Wow…look at the great view! Duluth, MN is just over that hill…

pic 1 and Lake Superior of course! (hmmm…how did Mama get these pictures???)

pic 1 Too bad I missed all of that! (I think Mama was thankful I fell asleep.)

pic 1 Over the course of the week I was able to see lots of boats coming and going from the harbor…

pic 1 I even tried to steer one inside the aquarium…but I didn’t get very far.

pic 1 I did, however, get to see my very first Seahorse at the new Seahorse exhibit inside the aquarium. That was awesome!

pic 1 We also tried to walk along Lake Superior…

pic 1 but it was extremely windy (and cold) on that day!

pic 1 Yes…that is a surfer! There’s only one word that describes him…C-R-A-Z-Y!!

pic 1 I’m outta here!

pic 1 We also visited more churches in a few days than I had seen so far in my life! Some of them were fun and some of them just made me crazy.

pic 1 We also experienced freezing rain, which I wouldn’t mind never experiencing again.

pic 1 I think I got several cricks in my neck because I was looking up so much of the time. The center of this bridge raises and lowers to allow boats to pass through. PS. Boats might be noisy!

pic 1 We also went to Duluth’s children museum–and you won’t believe it, but they had an Arthur exhibit! He’s my favorite!!!

pic 1 They also had a construction exhibit with dress-up clothes. I made Mama wear a hard hat too!

pic 1 They also had a large train museum connected to the children’s museum. It was a giant warehouse that had rows of real train locomotives & passenger and cargo cars. Some of them were even set up so that you could climb inside to see what it would be like to drive one! All Aboard!

pic 1 I was moving so fast (and on pure adrenaline) that Mama could only get shots of my spirit! Creepy!!!

pic 1 Last but not least…I had to try on Grandma Kathy and Grandpa Sam’s shoes. I’m sure you can guess which ones were enormous and which ones fit even better than Mamas!!!

pic 1 Somehow…I mysteriously woke up less than 10 minutes from that chocolate factory on our trip back to Wisconsin…so of course we had to stop again. I told Mama this couldn’t be the same place…there was snow on the ground and I was sure that when we left WI it was Spring already!!! Well, I hope you all had a great trip with me. Have a great week. If anyone is interested in even more pics…let Mama know and she can send you a Snapfish album. Somehow (despite my quickness) she took over 400 photos on our trip!!!

    I like the lighthouse picture. What town is it in? It looks like Sheboygan, WI.

    OMG-400 photos! send me some in snapfish. Can you send the lighthouse in sepia and B/W? I see water is still a boy magnet. Nolan has great giraffe gear to compliment cousin Aby’s. Growing a lot too. Luckily crop pants are in fashion now again this summer.
