We took advantage of our relatively close proximity to Duluth and headed up there for some Lake Superior fun today. First we hiked the Congdon Park trail, which was full of little gems of waterfalls and bridges and stone-skipping. It was uphill for the first half of the loop, but we took lots of diversions close to the creek and pretended we were rock climbers to make the trip up easier. On the way back down, we took the main, paved trail and went really, really fast (like, I had to run to keep the kids in my sight). Karl said he was flying. Laura ran most of the way down smiling instead of complaining. I think it will be a new Duluth tradition.
After our hike, we headed over to Canal Park. Renting a four-person bike to ride along the lakeshore is also a tradition. We stopped below Fitgers and the kids used up most of the hour-long bike rental to play on the shore.
Laura said these rocks would be a great place to nap!
Karl got in his fair share of rock-throwing today.
We pedaled back to the bike rental shop in the nick of time (but forgot to get a picture of our fancy bike. You'll just have to refer to last summer's post). Then it was off to watch the ships.
We ended the day with an early dinner at Grandma's.

Duluth is such a beautiful city. I'm so glad you hiked the Congdon trail.
