A few weeks ago, Jon and I celebrated our 6 year anniversary! It has been an amazing 6 year adventure, with twists and turns - so what better way to celebrate than to attend Jon's 10-year high school reunion. There was a little sarcasm in that statement, but it really was a fun time. I got to see again or meet for the first time Jon's friends and Jon was able to reminisce; it just wasn't exactly how we both pictured spending our anniversary. So for our second celebration, we headed on a northern adventure a week later.
Most of the adventure was a surprise to me as Jon planned where we were going to stay, what we were going to do and the meals we would be eating. It was so much fun to get away for a long weekend and just enjoy each other (including Brianna) and the outdoors.
Friday morning we packed up and headed to N&N's to drop off Eko and enjoy a bite to eat with them before heading out for good (thanks for the yummy soup!). Friday night we stayed in Duluth. We took their skyway system down to the pier, looked around a bit and ate dinner.
Saturday, we woke up with our Brianna alarm clock and decided to hit the road as soon as we were packed back up. On the way to our Saturday night destination, we stopped to get in some hiking. There are so many hikes up north it's hard to choose which ones to do. We had fun exploring and walking in the woods at Tettegouche State Park's high falls and shovel point. We arrived in Grand Marais later that afternoon. We walked around town and capped off our evening by eating the awesome Sven and Ole's pizza. What a fabulous day!
