Well, it was pretty amazing waking up on vacation this morning. Knowing we had an entire day of fun, adventures and no worries ahead of us. We did have a pretty long night thanks to some late night (early morning) partiers in the hotel. Luckily they were eventually kicked out, but not before causing chaos in our room for a while. It was rough getting the girls to sleep with all of us in the same room to begin with, but all of the noise didn't help. We were up for the day at our normal time, ate some breakfast in the lobby, showered and were on our way.
Our first stop today was the Lake Superior Zoo. And, we were very pleasantly surprised...it was a really great zoo! The girls had a ton of fun, and I must have sweat off all of the vacation junk food I've consumed so far it was so hot out. We spent a few hours there, grabbed some lunch and headed back to the hotel to get some rest from the heat for a little while. After we re-energized, we headed down to Canal Park for the evening...the BEST part and what I'd been waiting for since we got into town. We took a "dip" in Lake Superior for a while, walked along the "boardwalk", played in the "sprinklers" they had going in town, stopped in for the BEST ice cream I've ever had (Amelia enjoyed her very own, FIRST Ice Cream cone, and LOVED it), and just enjoyed ourselves. We took a nice long drive up the "coast" before heading back to the hotel for the night. We are definitely planning next years trip early and splurging on one of the canal hotels because I want to be able to spend more time on the beach, that's for sure!
Once back in the hotel, we ate some dinner, watched a little TV and relaxed for a while. The girls went down much better tonight, so hopefully we'll have a quieter, more sleep filled night tonight!
Here are tons of pictures of our adventures today.
