First Family Vacation!

September 2010

In September, our little family headed out for our FIRST family vacation (that is if you don't count all of the trips to South Dakota!)! We spent three days up in Duluth and had a fabulous time!  Our timing for traveling North was perfect, the colors on the trees were spectacular.

Lucy required MANY pit stops.  On the trip we discovered that Lucy no longer tolerates her car seat.  She did love playing in the front seat during all of the stops she demanded!

We stayed at Edgewater Resort and Waterpark.  We loved it!  The weather was pretty nasty part of the time that we were there so it was wonderful to have such wonderful activities indoors!

The kids loved the hotel!  Every part of it, they loved the big beds, the view, the waterpark and having Mommy and Daddy's complete attention!  And, Lucy mastered her crawling while we were there.

The view from our room was fantastic.

We went to the Great Lakes Aquarium which had tons of stuff for Jack to get his hands on. 

We took a boat tour of the port on the Vista Fleet and Jack loved it, he especially loved the boats' horns, which everytime he heard one, he would mimic at the top of his lungs.

We also toured the William S. Irvin ship.  It was hard keeping Jack entertained for the entire tour, so he started trying to entertain the tour group with somersaults and bird calls.  Luckily, Lucy was good as gold to make up for his behavior!

On our last day, we walked along the pier and watched the ships come in.  We had a wonderful time and we are looking forward to coming back.
