Breathtaking views of Lake Superior were interspersed with stops along North Shore Drive to check out local gift shops and trading posts along the way to our destination. The weather is gorgeous; however, the temperature is definitely getting cooler the farther up the lake we travel.
Gooseberry Falls State Park was a perfect place to stop and hike around to take pictures of the area on our way up scenic Highway 61. The water levels are low so the falls were not quite as spectacular as I remember from when we took in the sights here in 2002. But it was still beautiful. We stopped at Cove Point Crossing overlooking the lake for lunch, and Mary sat in a giant Adirondack chair on the side of the road.
Our spacious cabin at Lutsens Resort and Sea Villas is nestled up in the trees on the shore line. Sitting on the deck of our cabin the view of the lake meets the sky and the sound of the waves is a constant soothing lullaby.
Mary joined a planned kids’ activity at the Resort to watch a movie and eat pizza with some of the other kids staying at the resort while Jon, Kristine, Joel, and I ate supper in the resort dining room. We strolled along the beach and pathways around the resort before collecting Mary and heading back to the cabin. Jon got a roaring fire going in the wood burning stove, and we played a couple rounds of the fun dice game, Farkle—the real one, not the facebook version.
Before turning in for the night, Joel observed the moon reflecting off the lake, and we enjoyed the view until the moon had raised high in the sky.
