The North Shore is Gorgeous!!

We went up the coast for our honeymoon to stay in the Cove Point lodge. It's a fantastic setting right on the lake. The sunrises on the cliffs were spectacular and sunsets by the jacuzzi didn't hurt either. We enjoyed ourselves through hiking and exploring the region. It was fun learning Minnesota history, shipping, mining and 3M. Very cool.

It was fun relaxing and listening to the locals. It was funny hearing them talking about going to "the city" for the weekend and later learn they were talking about Duluth. Robyn can't say she's a "country" girl anymore by their account.

We also stayed at a lighthouse for a few nights. It's a pretty interesting environment with other residents sharing the same lodging and bathroom. Kind of reminds me of Scotland really. The keeper kept us entertained with a fiddle and cooked us "moose porridge" ((Don't ask)).

So we're home again. Back to reality as they say but it's pretty cool still. We will post again soon!!
