On Wednesday, we decided to go North for the day. We packed the car and headed to Duluth on the shores of Lake Superior. It is amazing to find a port city in the middle of the country. The lake is so large, you can't see the other side. You could almost believe it is the ocean.
Our first stop was the Superior Zoo. It was definitely the highlight of our day and of our Zoo experiences as a whole. 95% of the exhibits had animals that were awake and close and quite entertaining. The bears were especially fun to watch. There was even a nocturnal exhibit with animals that are active at night. It was the most fun we have ever had at a zoo.
Then it was off to the board walk for Lunch and sight seeing. The Fall colors were beautiful. We enjoyed the shops and collecting rocks from the shores. We got to see the draw bridges in action and toped off the day with caramel apples and gummy worms. The drive is about 3 hours so the kids all slept in the car on the way home. Thank you Lord, for such a beautiful day.
