Our weekend without the kids

This weekend we went to a Bed and Breakfast in Duluth with some friends. The boys were busy in their own right. They had birthday parties to attend, fun functions at church and they hung out with grandma and grandpa. We went with our friends Mariela and Rodrigo from Argentina, they have never been up there. We didn't get up north until late Friday evening, so we just got some food and hung out. The B&B was the best. They thought of every last detail and we loved staying there. We had to rent the smallest room because I lost to Mariela on heads or tails when booking, but it was still a great place. On Sat. morning they brought breakfast to our room (a requirement I have for B&Bs, I'm not getting all dressed to go eat breakfast with strangers). It was wonderful, eggs, muffins and fruit. I had to take a picture because the fruit was so cute. They even made little hearts out of the watermelon. It was delicious.On Sat. afternoon we went to the Split Rock Lighthouse and then to Gooseberry Falls. It was cold at the lighthouse, but it was nice walking around the falls. We just spent the day walking and talking and not worrying about kids. That afternoon we went to lunch and that was quiet also. At night we went to see the bridge and walk around downtown Duluth. It sounds really boring when you read it, but just know we had a great time.
Sunday breakfast was wonderful also, but then we had to pack up to leave. I 100% recommend the B&B we stayed at for anyone going to Duluth!
We picked up the boys, it was good to see them. Came home and did dishes, made dinner and did laundry. Pretty exciting way to end a weekend, huh?

Because I'm a foodie, I'm curious... Where did you eat in Duluth? One of my faves is the Fitgers Pub.

Our food choices were not very exciting. We ate fast food for dinners, at the B&B for breakfasts of course and our only lunch was at the Black Woods in Two Harbors. We need to stay longer next time. It was so fun to get away.

Not sure when we'll ever make it out to Duluth, but thanks for the lodging tip. I absolutely love the B&B pampering.

Julie, sounds like you guys had a great weekend. I just love B&B's, especially when they have a good breakfast.
