Our Motorcycle Journey to Duluth

This post is a little late, but I finally got the pictures uploaded!

Dave surprised me by arranging a place for the kids and taking a motorcycle ride to Duluth from Sept. 5-7. Of course, the one time we get rain was this weekend, but it was still a lot of fun! Our first night there, it was quite the journey to get there. We hit rain in Hinckley and it didn't stop the entire way up. Our luck too, we were driving in the dark...not fun on the motorcycle. So it was slow going and WET from Hinckley to Duluth. When we finally got to Duluth, I ws able to get a photo :) Poor Dave got slammed with the rain and I just tried to hide behind him...hehe!



We got to the hotel around 9ish and literally took showers in hit the hay. We were exhausted!

On Sat. it still rained, we took a trip up to the Harley Davidson dealer on top of the hill, which was kindof scary, because some of their roads are made of stone and brick and that gets really slippery when its wet. On our way out of town, we stopped at Angie's and had some appetizers.



We had intentions of going up to Gooseberry Falls, but the weather was unpredictable, so we went as far as Two Harbors and went to the Lighthouse.







When we got back into Duluth, the rain had passed for awhile and the sun came out, so we stopped at the Rose Gardens. It was absolutely beautiful!! I could not believe some of the scents of the rose's...I have never smelt anything like them before! They were gorgeous!!



This is Dave being a "stud" at the Rose Gardens!

Umm...and yes me!
