i feel like this will not be difficult to complete, and perhaps i should have had a higher goal number, seeing as how i've been on three vacations in the last three months (not counting two trips to detroit!). but, at least i will definitely complete this task! and my vacations should be slowing down now.
so! the first check on this list was 4.23.10-4.26.10 when i went to duluth, minnesota for the weekend. robert's work sent him to duluth for three weeks, so on the second weekend i drove the 5.5 hours to visit him. the drive was a little bit boring, but i got to drive through a number of small, U.P. towns which was nice.
duluth was a pretty interesting city to look at. it's on the coast of lake superior (my favorite great lake!), and full of steep hills. it makes for lots of dramatic views. i got into the city at night, and it was great driving over lit up bridges and being able to see the whole city all lit up. the two fulls days i was there it was cold and rainy and windy, so unfortunately we just drove around the downtown a bit, and couldn't walk to explore it much. i would have loved to take some photos of the buildings downtown, but alas. we did find a few great restaurants, though!
wildlife spotted on the drive to/fro duluth: 3 deer, 1 herron, 2 bald eagles, 1 wild turkey.
