Luke and I enjoyed a weekend away last weekend. My parents watched the kids while Luke and I headed up to Bluefin Bay to do a little hiking, card playing, hot tubing and relaxing! We did this 2 years ago and had the time of our lives and this year was no different!
We stopped at the Bent Paddle Brewery in Duluth on our way up and got a growler. When we got to Bluefin we watched the Wild win on Thursday night. On Friday we picked up some breakfast at CoHo Cafe and decided to hike up to Carlton Peak. We had someone from Bluefin drop us off at the Temperance River and we hiked up to Carlton Peak and then down part of the ski trail to Bluefin bay. We got to the top of Carlton Peak at noon, and enjoyed a nice picnic at the top. It was an absolutely beautiful day--sunny, warm (in the 60s)--it was a perfect day for a hike! We spent our afternoon playing cribbage, relaxing in the hot tub and then we finished with dinner at the restaurant at Bluefin!
Saturday we went up the shore a little and hiked up the Devils Track River. It had been a long time since we went on that hike and it was absolutely beautiful! It was a little cooler, but still sunny and nice! After our hike we hiked down by Lake Superior and picked up some agates for the kids. We stopped in Grand Marais for lunch and then headed back for another afternoon of cribbage, hot tubing and dinner! We watched our wedding video and celebrated our anniversary a month early! :)
On Sunday we woke up to rain, so it was the perfect time to head for home. I missed the kids so I was excited to get back home and spend the afternoon with them. I'm excited to get the kids up to the North Shore and spend some time up there!!
