The sun will come out...

Yesterday began by waking up to a thunderstorm. This of course also meant that all if the things that I hadn't put away the night before (mainly the strollers) were wet. Always fun to pack up in the rain. 

We left hoodoo point early (early for us) and headed for destinations unknown. (If you are wondering what this process looks like, it goes like this: me: where are we going? Mary: well, do you want to go to location 1,2 or 3? Me: 1 I guess Mary: ok, let's go to 3) this brought us to the international wolf center. Interesting, and the boys had a good time. 

We learned lots and saw wolves howling (which they say doesn't happen everyday) and eating a deer leg.  The boys really enjoyed it. It rained for most of our time at the wolf center, but it is all indoors. We couldn't leave Ely without a frozen custard, then we hit the road; the LONG, Curvy, hilly road. Where did this road go you ask? Pretty much right back to where the Super 8 broke down. You might be thinking interesting, why would you go there. I was thinking the same thinking. (I am currently accepting applications for navigator.) I guess we were coming to Duluth, the one place I said we were going to avoid. 

Now that we are here, with no events enroute, it is a great place to visit! It rained for the whole drive yesterday, and of believe it or not, the fog is still on the north shore! Very dense fog. We rolled in, it was raining pretty good, I had to walk through 6 inches of water to plug our electric in, and as soon as we decided to walk to town, the rain quit and the sun came out. The rest of the day was wonderful!

We are staying right on the water, the place is actually a marina, and can see the lift bridge from our campsite. We were able to see it in operation quite a few times. 

We walked around downtown, took a (long) walk to Walgreens for a thermometer. Matthew has a little fever, but doing well.  Then we went to the canal park brewery for dinner. Of course I had every beer on tap, they are all good, and the best Reuben I have ever tasted. 

 

I don't know what today will bring, but I know it will be fun!
