On vacation!

My husband and I are on the North Shore of Lake Superior, vacationing at a resort called Larsmont Cottages. It's a relatively new place just south of Two Harbors. Our room is about 50 feet from the shoreline and we've been listening to the waves crashing into the shore (it's been really windy the last couple days).

Our room is a standard hotel sized room, but it has a kitchenette, gas fireplace, whirlpool tub, satellite TV and a DVD player so it's a little nicer than your average room.

Yesterday morning I had a massage at the "massage cottage" that also sits right on the shoreline. It was a heavenly way to start my vacation.

Last night we sat in the outdoor whirlpool tub. It's a little protected from the wind, but wide open to the sky.

Yesterday the weather was really crappy so we spent the first half of the day in bed watching movies. Then we drove to Duluth where we walked around Canal Park, did a bit of shopping and then saw the movie "Michael Clayton." We ate dinner at Hell's Kitchen. I had this amazing sandwich called "Ham and Pear Crisp." It's basically a ham panini but with pears inside and a bread that was a little sweet.

Today we're going to tour the Split Rock Lighthouse and go to Gooseberry Falls State Park. Thankfully the bad weather cleared and the sun was out when we woke up this morning!
