4th of July in September?

I put up my Labor Day photos and then realized that I hadn't posted my 4th of July photos. We went to the North Shore area of Lake Superior.




There were lupines blooming everywhere.




We watched a sea plane in Grand Marais.




A tranquil Lake Superior view in Beaver Bay, MN.




Split Rock Lighthouse




Gooseberry Falls




A friendly deer at Gooseberry Park




I hope to be sitting in one of these chairs again soon!

Red Wing

We spent Labor Day weekend in the charming town of Red Wing, MN. They have hundreds of beautiful flower baskets hanging from the streetlights. The flowers are purchased and maintained by private donations -- amazing!

This is Barn Bluff. We were at Memorial Park, standing on the top of Sorenson Bluff when I snapped this photo and the one below of downtown Red Wing.


We also went to Colvill Park, where we saw eagles flying along the river. Other trips highlights include taking a trolley ride through town and dining at Norton's (best meal I've had in ages!).
