Grand Marais

We went to Grand Marais for a long weekend in July. We left Friday night and headed north to the Lutsen Cabin. It worked out well. Hadley just woke up from a nap before we left so she was happy and content in the car seat for an hour before she fell asleep for an hour. We stopped in Two Harbors where we connected with Shanessa, Geoff, Nevaeh, Brea and Lizzie. From there we drove the rest of the way to the cabin.

We arrived around 8:30 and it was a bit chilly but not bad. Robert and Geoff got the cabin open. All of us gals checked out the water. That evening we just snacked and had a bon fire.
Saturday we woke up and made breakfast. The gals took little naps and we went to town. We checked out the shops, ate some donuts and hung out. The guys went golfing that afternoon and Shanessa and I got to go have a cocktail at Lutsen while the gals napped and Brea and Lizzie babysat.

That evening we had dinner and made another bonfire. Roasted a lot of marshmellows. Hadley was great. She took her baths at 8:00, we then proceeded to the bedroom and got ready for bed. I nursed her a little and then she went right to sleep. She didn't mind the pack n play. She did wake up a little more then normal but it wasn't too bad. I was probably more tired from getting to bed late then anything else.

Sunday we made breakfast and relaxed for the morning. Then we went and explored Cascade Falls. We had a great time hiking and looking at all the beauty. Once we got back to the cabin we ate lunch and the gals took naps. We left the dads home with the little gals and Shanessa and I went to Grand Marais with the big gals. We picked up some t-shirts and fudge and headed back to the cabin. Then the four of us (Shanessa, Geoff, Robert and I) went to a new restaurant at Lutsen for a few beers. Brea and Lizzie watched the gals again for about an hour and a half. It was awesome weather and great conversation. That evening we had our best meal, chicken and fresh salad from the garden. We had our last bonfire and talked smart.

Monday was got up and had breakfast and started to pack and clean. It is such a bummer to have to head home. Hadley and Nevaeh wore there same Grand Marais shirts. They looked so cute. They also got along sooo well. Hadley had a blast watching her big cousin run around.
It was a wonderful summer getaway.
