This is my last post about our trip up north, so hopefully I didn't bore you too much with all the photos!

This is the trail that we biked part of (about 16 miles of it)

I know, I'm not too fashionable here.  It was still pretty chilly that day, so I have one of Malachi's jackets on (on top of a zip up hoodie, long sleeve T and short sleeve T), and I have 2 pairs of leggings on.  But with all the biking, it actually began to feel somewhat warm.

Relaxing and feeling small.

Malachi doing the same.

Cowboys Pride!

In a lighthouse jail of some sort.

The day we left, we finally stopped to take a picture of this guy and his enormous head.

The first time I've ever seen someone jetskiing in a full snowsuit-looking get-up, complete with ski mask.

*Sigh*  the end of vacation is always such a sad thing.

We like to eat.

I mentioned how it was pretty cold up in Two Harbors, right?  Well, because of that, we ended up doing alot of eating, something we tend to enjoy.

We at BlackWoods

We ate at Do North (per townies recommendations)

We ate at Kamloop's (at our lodge)

We at at Vinciniti's (or something close to that name) in Duluth 

We ate at the Vanilla Bean Cafe (yummy black bean burger by the way!)

It's a sin to go up north and not go to Betty's Pies

Yes, that is three slices.  Go ahead, judge.

And back to Kamloop's after we checked out of the hotel on our way home.

Oh man, you would think that would make me full, but...I'm gonna go grab a piece of pie!!

Two Harbors, MN

For our 1-year anniversary (already, what?!), we went up north to the freezing tundra.  It actually was very cold.  But our last day there it warmed up enough to be able to spend some time outside in the sunshine.

Don't get me wrong, we had a great time regardless of the weather.  It's good to just get away if nothing else!

This is out behind our hotel, where I asked Malachi to brave the cold wind in order to take some photos outside with me.

He was a champ!

Malachi loves skipping rocks from this rocky beach!

This was our view out our window

The decorations in the room were great, and I liked these lamps.  The other lamps with fish hooks hanging off of them...not so much.

We also had a hot tub in our room!  So nice for after a bike ride!

And as you can see behind Malachi, we had a fireplace too!  So you can see, the cold weather wasn't so bad!

We also exchanged gifts (if that wasn't obvious).  We are trying to be traditional and get, well, traditional themed gifts.  So the one year anniversary traditional gift is paper.  I got Malachi a puzzle (of a picture of us from Hawaii) and a gift card to Barnes & Noble.  Malachi gave me two journals, a travel one (already filled in with our adventures from this weekend) and an awesome recipe journal.  It has all you need for making an awesome recipe book!

I'll fill you in on a little bit more of our vacay in the next few days, but that's all for today!
