After I posted all these pictures...I realized that I posted out of order...I totally forgot to post the pictures from the day before...oh well...this is Duluth Minnesota...home of my father's side of the family and close to Don's family...both sides...in fact we met up with one of Don's cousins here as well...more about that tomorrow since I forgot to post those pictures...I guess I'm tired after a very long day of traveling and site seeing...
Here we are in front of Lake Superior in Leif Erickson park...I just noticed what a bad look I had on my face...horrible...oh well...
The shore line is so pretty...the Fall colors are beautiful...
This is such a nice park...it was a bit nippy though...about 48 degrees and a little windy too...but we loved it!
The picture doesn't even come close to how purple these bushes were...I wish you could see them!
Here's Leif...one of my Norwegian ancestors...the way he got around...he could be one of yours too!!
More Fall color...I can't get enough of this...
This stage was neat...both of us got up there and made silly poses...they came out a little too dark though...but it was fun trying to be an stage actor! Maybe they use this for concerts too...
What a relaxing view...
This bridge...I forgot the name...I really should write this stuff down...is the only one of its kind in North America...instead of splitting apart like other bridges...the bottom half goes up to let the ships through...Iron Ore is mined up on the Grange and then sent by train to Duluth and then shipped all over...we heard most of it goes to China now...
I told you I couldn't get enough of the color...we don't have this at home...not like this anyway...
This is the Duluth Angel of Hope...
We were in a little museum in Procter...outside of Duluth and this bottom picture caught our eye...four of the players in this picture are related to Don...in fact...one is his Dad...the other three are his Uncles...pretty cool we thought...we're having a great time...it's chilly...downright cold for this California girl...but I love it!! I could easily get used to this part of the country...it feels so homey!
I am a couple days behind in my blogging...but I will try to get caught up...I hope you enjoying going with us on our trip...
Until next time...enjoy your day!!!

Well hey you!!! You are somewhat close to Nod, aren't you??? All I can say is....you two look COLD!! LOL! This is unseasonably warm yet for us here! Ahhhh...glad you're enjoying the sights. And glad there's still some color there to be seen. We've lost all the leaves several weeks ago already....didn't have a whole lot with the drought....and then the winds came - as they always do. But I had to take Lil' Crow to Madison yesterday, and there's still bunches of color there and along the way. Love, love, love that fall color. Hope you enjoy the rest of your trip....and wishing you safe travels. Smiles & Best Hugs ~ Robin
So pretty!! Enjoy!!
We enjoyed the leaves a few weeks ago, too. Glad they lasted for you! When we were in MN in June, Duluth had some terrible flooding; sounds like things are back to normal there. BTW, I think 48 degrees is warm by MN standards. lol Have a great weekend.
thanks for sharing the pics.....
Beautiful pics!
I'm glad you had a chance to enjoy some pretty autumn foliage and spend time with cousins, Linda! I loved seeing all your vacation photos. Happy birthday!
Just wanted you to know how much I enjoyed your pictures and being to go along on your trip with you. So special that you got to visit your granparents graves. It is so great that you are making memories and having a wonderful time.
