A very spontaneous thought on my part,
a weak moment for my husband...

prompted us to take a short but sweet trip to the North Shore this weekend.
We needed our fix!
Here's the deal.... Rick and I decided to change it up this fall so,
the last week of September we visited Door County instead of our usual
Minnesota north shore trip.

Door county was nice, and I'm glad we did it, but..... it was NOT "the north shore"
DC is a different kind of get-away all together.... more "touristy" & busy!
I missed the beauty, peace and calm of the North Shore.
Lots of pictures to share.... hope you enjoy :)

located between Lutsen & Tofte
Suite 302
This is what we wake up to every morning

We got settled in, then headed down the road about 2 miles to
Temperance River State Park

Love the North Shore. It's been a long time since we were there... .
ReplyDeleteGood times when we were all there together with our rascally kiddos!
The water was a lot higher this year, It would not have been a good year for our crazy kids to frolic that close to the falls.
DeleteGlad you got to get your fix! I can't imagine ever getting tired of the North Shore. So pretty! I have such good memories of everything we've ever done up there, especially with the Dietzmans!
ReplyDeleteThose were good times Brie. Do you remember camping at Lamb's resort, we were right on the shore! Dad said we camped there twice.
DeleteIt's been years since we've been to the North Shore, and never this far north. Now I am ready to head up there. And I totally agree with you about Door County.
ReplyDeleteThat first shot of you and Rick is absolutely precious, one to print, frame and hang somewhere in your home. And that sunrise, ah, gorgeous as is the actual photo. Your photography continues to impress me. You have been gifted with "the eye."
Audrey, have you been up as far as Grand marais? I know you would love it there, It's a city of so much art (museums/studio's). I have a blog coming up on Grand Marias next. Thanks for the nice comments about the photos I took. I'm learning new things everyday :)
