Over the river and through the woods

We had a wonderful time in Minnesota with family! Our trip involved traveling to northern Minnesota (about 30 miles from the Canadian border) to spend time with loved ones at a mountain retreat.

This, unfortunately, wasn't our sweet ride, but check out the number of bikes on the back of this RV!


Some highlights included sledding down the Alpine Slide in Lutsen. This involved riding a ski lift up to the top of the mountain and, using a special sled, twisting and weaving one's way back down via a concrete track.




View from the top - notice all of the people with their yellow sleds lined up behind us




Waiting to get the go ahead to let loose!


Woohoo, that was fun!


A visit to Grand Marais, MN, included a visit to the World's Best Donut Shop and Sven and Ole's Pizza - both were good eats.




Mmmm, donuts


Grand Marais is a picturesque little town right on the edge of Lake Superior.




We also headed to the beach where our niece loved playing with the rocks.

Most importantly, we enjoyed laughing and sharing stories and spending time with family.

We're looking forward to next year's adventures! As always, we're sending lots of love and hugs across the miles...the girlz
