First Family Vacation

This week we went up to Duluth for our first family vacation. We stayed at the Edge Waterpark and Resort. Despite Addie’s initial uncertainty, we spent quite a bit of time in the waterpark – playing with the beach balls, floating down the lazy river, and exploring the zero depth area.









We visited the aquarium and got to see many different types of fish that live in Lake Superior, including Sturgeon (which I have never seen before). We also learned about how the boats filled with grains or iron ore travel from Lake Superior to the Atlantic – and saw one begin its journey!





The next day we traveled further north and went hiking to see some waterfalls and to explore a lighthouse.



Later that day we went to Park Point Beach, the largest freshwater sandbar in the world. This was the favorite part of the trip for all of us. Brian and I loved the beautiful and peaceful scenery, and Addie loved the soft sand, chasing the seagulls, and putting her toes in the ice-cold lake.



Addie was a fun travel companion, and we are looking forward to the many more family vacations to come!
