•the Up North•

Family weekends are the best for many reasons. First and for most, my family (immediate, extended and otherwise) seriously knows how to relax and have a good time. Second, we all love to eat so good food and drink are basically a given. Third, I love my family (a luxury that some don't have, sad!). And last, it gives me time to chill and get back to basics.

As an added treat, my cousin Amy and her son Brock were able to join us-super fun! We treked up and down the North Shore from the Split Rock Lighthouse to Gooseberry Falls to downtown Duluth to rest stops along Lake Superior. We hung out at the aquarium, ate at Grandma's and lounged at the place we rented for the weekend.

It was perfection.

Ok, well, maybe it was a bit dark the day after we arrived, but Lake Superior is still beautiful...

These mud puppies are so weird. They have fins, gills, and legs, it's crazy. Brock thought so, too.

But the potbellied seahorses were my favorite...fat little tummies...
