I thought I would get in a short post about the family trip to Minnesota. Happy Retirement Dad!
Duluth
Canal Park Brewery had a decent selection of cleverly named beer. There was a good food selection, which sometimes makes me think they don't focus enough on brewing beer. Their large amount of memorabilia encouraged that thinking as well. Duluth is a beautiful little city. It reminded me of Dubuque, IA. Definitely worth a stop if you are in the area. I think there is a MS 150 ride in this area during the summer.

Tettegouche State Park
'The Gouche' would be a pleasant hike for anyone not hungover. For the counterpart, the views made it enjoyable. Talking to the park ranger, we found the most suitable route for us to take. The waterfalls along the way provided entertainment and daredevil personalities to come out.

We had hoped to explore Lake Superior's outlying cliffs by kayak. Unfortunately, the lake had other plans in store for us (5+ ft waves). The kayak co. was able to find a semi-close area for us to go to instead. It was nice to get a slight-boundary water experience since we were so far North, but the Lake Superior trip would have been a better deal. Our tour guide seemed to be pulling the expedition out of his ass. But we kept ourselves entertained.

Lodging
VRBO We stayed in a great house over looking Lake Superior. The screened-in porch was perfect for morning, day, evening, and late-night dinning/drinking/conversation. There was only a slight issue when we experienced uncontrollable flooding coming from under a locked door. After using every towel in the house, calling the astray owner multiple times, and a few glasses of wine, the maintenance guy fixed the problem.
