We went to Duluth for part of spring break week. Here the girls are on our balcony overlooking Lake Superior, jumping with excitement!
It looks warm, doesn't it?
It wasn't. Duluth was frigid, as expected. However, our hotel had a huge indoor waterpark where the temp was 87 degrees - so we could pretend we were somewhere warm! We spent lots of time floating down the lazy river.
It was the kind of place where kids wear their jammies to breakfast. (And unfortunately some adults too.) It had classy Polynesian decor, like this tissue box.
It was just right for our little break. We visited the waterpark everyday, and also hit the Duluth highlights.
The lift bridge. Has anything ever looked colder?
We didn't mind.
We did some ice climbing.
And ice dancing.
We visited the fantastic Great Lakes Aquarium.
Willa learned about camouflage via the green screen.
They sent boats through locks to the Atlantic:
The littlest captain.
The girls acquired some local treasure.
Back at the waterpark, the girls painted some boats for a big race down the lazy river:
Celebrating with Tiki Tom:
Steering the ship at the Lake Superior Maritime Museum:
To make it truly a vacation, the girls enjoyed decadent treats throughout the trip. Dippin' dots:
Smoothies:
And delicious Italian sodas:
Willa, after ingesting most of hers:
What a great break!
