Up North :: minnesota tour part 1

Paul and I have been in Minnesota this week visiting his Dad and Step-mom.  They live in Center City about 8 hours from Kansas City.  Monday morning we headed north about 2 more hours, to Duluth and hung out in the Canal Park area, watching the boats come and go.  The weather was absolutely wonderful... much like fall in Kansas City.  I couldn't imagine going back to our heat and muggy air :(   Here are a few images from our trip so far.  Today we're heading towards western Minnesota to Spicer, where we will be with his Mom's side of the family celebrating his Granny and Papa's 60th anniversary

We continued further north on Tuesday towards Gooseberry Falls.

... and even further north to Split Rock Lighthouse

We were told that we must stop at the world famous Betty's Pies... a little overated if you ask me.

Look for part two of this post, as I hope to get some good family shots this weekend.  We'll be right on a lake, so it's sure to be a good time!
