Weekend Recap: Duluth Day 2

We woke up to a very cool and windy morning - 50° in summer is not so fun. Luckily, I had read the weather reports and expected this. However, unlucky for me I forgot my sweatshirt. I've always wanted a Duluth sweatshirt and didn't have one, so after breakfast, the first thing on our agenda was a little sweatshirt shopping. After looking at a few stores I found an aqua one I liked and I was toasty warm after that.

Much to Adam's chagrin, I really wanted to take some photos of all the waves. I think I overexposed my ear to the cold windy air because it still hurts today.

Look at those waves!

The seagull was in the air, but not going anywhere because of the strong winds

 On the way back to the car, I found a fountain to take some photos of for practice.

At 3:30, we took an hour and a half long expanded tour of Glensheen. I've always wanted to tour Glensheen, so it was really interesting. Unfortunately, they don't allow you to take any photos inside the mansion so we had to settle for a few shots outside. We would have liked to have roamed the grounds more, but they were setting up for a wedding.

Adam loves when I use the timer on my point-and-shoot...

Another timer shot. This time the camera was on the park bench

Gardens at Glensheen with the Carriage House in the background. We were impressed with the lack of weeds!

After Glensheen we went back to the room and relaxed before dinner. We went to Bellisio's in Canal Park. We remember it being a lot better than it was, but still had a good time. At least the tiramisu was as amazing as we remembered it being.
