Duluth

 Once we knew Omaha was a for sure thing, I told Mike I had a few things on my Minnesota Bucket List.  At the top, was a trip to Duluth.  I'd been itching to get up there and check it out, and we knew we'd need some extra hands to help, so we timed it when Mike's parents came up for to see Tayler for the first time in April.  It worked out great.  Only wish we could have stayed up there longer!

The hotel was right on Lake Superior, and it sounded just like the ocean.  Loved listening to the waves.  Walked around downtown, checked out a fun ship museum, saw the lighthouse, had dinner and took the kids swimming.

 Woke up the next morning and saw a few big cargo ships come into port (Max's favorite).  Then we drove up the coast to the Split Rock Lighthouse.  Loved learning about the history of the area and checking out the cool Lighthouse.  It was a bit overcast and felt so mystical. 

Tayler's did well.  Still young enough that she slept a LOT, and gladly the walls were pretty dang thick at the hotel so her nighttime crying/fussiness time wasn't bothersome to everyone around us!
