Double Bonus



Even though I already posted about one of my favorite destinations, I want to add these photos after returning from the North Shore. We had a wonderful time in Duluth. We've been going on our fall outing since 1991. We started out going to the North Shore every year, then mixed it up a bit with a couple years in Hayward, Wisconsin and another in Alma, Wisconsin. We travel with our friends, Tome and Marilyn,Donna and John. The fall colors were beautiful this year. We had great weather although today was a bit brisk. It didn't rain until we were on our way home. Enjoyed being outdoors on the shore, looking around Canal Park, shopping and driving the Skyline Parkway. We had lots of good food, too much as usual and plenty of good cold beer. My sister Gloria and her husband dropped by for a visit, too. A favorite Get-Away, to a Favorite Destination...ahhh...double bonus!

Favorites: Lake Superior



One of my favorite places and my birthplace; the North Shore of Lake Superior. I grew up in Silver Bay. This weekend I'll be returning as part of our annual fall get-away with good friends, Tome, Marilyn, Donna and John and of course, my best friend, Mark. :) The lake is magical. Loud, yet calming. Deep and foreboding yet peaceful. I look forward to sitting on the shore, thinking, rolling stones over in my hand, enjoying good friends, good food and being near this incredible treasure.
