Well Greg has always wanted to drive Route 66. We will need more than 10 days for that one. But, Highway 61 would have to do on this vacation. To start off the day though (still in Duluth at this point), we had breakfast at a little coffeeshop type place. Amazing Grace Restaurant & Bakery. A really neat menu. Quiche included! At night they have musicians and poets, that type of thing. just real cute and laid back and the food was very good. The bakery was incredibly busy! Then we took off driving. This won't all be in the right order. These are just some of the names/places I remember. North Shore, Highway 61, Two Harbors, Gooseberry Falls, Split Rock Lighthouse,
First for a couple of places that we didn't go to. Glensheen Historic Estate. I didn't know what it was. It looked big & beautiful though. when we got back, Volunteer Tina told me a family was murdered there! We also didn't go to Betty's Pies and a couple of people mentioned that so it must be good. Next time! And we did not do the whole Highway 61 drive. our destination was the Apostle Islands, and we still wanted to get there.
We did spend a lot of time though at Gooseberry Falls. Lots of hiking trails. We walked a lot on this day, and I was very hungry by the time the sun went down. But Greg was on a mission to get some neat pictures of Split Rock Lighthouse, so supper would have to wait. We stayed at Larsmont Cottages on Lake Superior. We talked about staying there 2 nights, because there was a lot of relaxing stuff to do there, a beach, etc. But it started to rain again so we decided to move on, in search of the sunshine. I don't remember where we finally had supper on this night, we were very tired I think. next day, on to Bayfield Wisconsin, which is right across from the Apostle Islands!
