Anniversary: Northbound

I picked Nick up from work at 4:30pm. Mom and the kids headed west to Sommer's for the weekend.

By 7:30 we reached Duluth and there was evidence of freshly fallen snow. A few short miles north of Two Harbors the roads transitioned to white, and we started slowing down. Passing zones held more cars than the northbound lane. Nobody wanted to be stuck behind cars doing 20 miles under the limit. By the time we got to Lutsen we were the only ones in sight.

We arrived at Grand Portage Lodge and Casino at 11:36pm. Grabbed our keys and headed three miles south to Hollow Rock Resort where our cozy cabin, Goose Down, awaited us. A one-room open concept design where the bed, kitchen, and living room all are together. Thankfully, the bathroom remained as a separate room. We attempted to start up a fire but decided sleep was more important. Our front yard is Lake Superior. Beautiful to say the least. Snow is falling at a good pace, I'm sure the Explorer will be covered by morning.

Today Nick was able to feel the baby kicking pretty good for the first time. It is always fun when he can share in this experience.
