As I have said earlier, my computer has been broken down. I was unable to access any blog sites anywhere. My computer would shut off while taking important tests for school... It was virtually useless to me for such a long long time... So, to get my mind off of that issue, Mark took us to visit Lake Superior's North Shore. I grew up about an hour from Lake Superior but had never gone to see the sights. We went before tourist season began and found reduced rates at an awesome resort/hotel. The place is called Superior Shores in Two Harbors Minnesota. So many friendly people in one spot! We were even allowed to bring Radar along for the weekend!
He was one of the first friendly faces to greet us when we arrived late on friday night.
Look at that chandelier! Have you ever seen anything more amazing?!? That is an elk and I think a caribou watching over the lobby.
A great big stone fireplace welcomed us in from the chilly lake front.
This little guy (the brown furry one) was Radars favorite attraction.
This little bridge was the pathway from the resort to the beach. The kids and I snuck out early in the mornings...we were collecting a whole boxful of agates!
The beach at the resort. Tylen was getting rock skipping lessons. A theme that played out everywhere we went.
We went to visit the Split Rock Lighthouse. The beach at the resort. Tylen was getting rock skipping lessons. A theme that played out everywhere we went.
Hiking at Split Rock State Park.
Everywhere we went, we looked at the rocks. We even drove right through one! Amazing!!
This in a bend in the Baptism River. Right around this bend, the river calms and opens into Lake Superior. Very beautiful!
The trees were growing right out of the rocks at Gooseberry Falls!
More rock skipping and agate hunting where Baptism river and Lake Superior meet.
The kids at Gooseberry Falls.

And My Favorite place we went! The Split Rock Lighthouse. It was under construction, being we were two weeks early, we didnt get to tour it, but that just means... We will have to go back!
