We manage to take at least one week-end each summer to Duluth with our two grand-kids, and invariably we have a great time: going to the beach at Park Point on Lake Superior, watching world freighters arriving and departing, building campfires, wandering around the tourist area, and playing cards and dominoes. The five-year-old still thinks it's a wonderful treat, and the thirteen-year-old would prefer being with his friends but is a good sport about it and always tells us how great it was! Who could ask for anything more?!

We're Back!
A week-end on the North Shore of Duluth, Minnesota with our grandkids.

You certainly look as if you had a good time - beats keeping your nose slavishly to the blogstone.
ReplyDeleteThe Flickr shots also enhance ;-} the collage nicely.

ReplyDeleteWe'll be up there in a couple of weeks - we always try & time our trips into Duluth to watch one of the massive ships coming into harbor. I think Duluth is one of my favourite north American cities - it's full of charm.
ReplyDeleteGreat collage - makes me look forward to being a grandparent - maybe then my kids will thank me!
ReplyDeleteI want to make a campfire!
ReplyDeleteNice montage.
Looks like a fun family time! One of our distributors who distribute our videos for our publishing company is located in Duluth...lovely people.
ReplyDeleteI agree! I can not think of anything better than spending time with grandkids...they won't ever forget it...neither do wee.
ReplyDeleteI hope you will believe me: it's so nice to read these few lines about your week-end that I've got feeling to be there. Thank you Kate !
ReplyDeleteWhen I was a kid, I would both look forward to and dread going to stay a week or two with grandparents, and without exception, loved every minute of it. Once we were there, there were always new worlds to explore, and I've gotten old enough now to appreciate those times even more.
ReplyDeleteI know your grandkids will appreciate looking back on these times too. Count on it.
