Vacation Day 4


We had a very busy day! Grace decided 4:50 was a great time to start the day. She knows there's fun stuff outside and wouldn't go back to bed. We went down by the shore again... bigger waves today! After a nap and lunch and a quick stop at the park we went to the aquarium. Then we spent some time at the hotel's water park. After another nap Grace and Mommy drove down to McDonalds while Daddy rested. We were eating when suddenly Daddy showed up. He spotted a huge ship out the hotel window headed for the harbour. We have been wanting to see one so he ran to McDonalds (we had taken the car!) to get us. We drove down to the harbour and made it just before they raised the bridge to let the ship through. We got to watch the ship come in. Grace loved it. After that we decided to make the most of the beautiful evening (mid 70's) and took a horse and buggy ride along the board walk. We topped the evening off with ice cream! Grace stayed up until 9:30... what a trooper!



We couldn't take pictures of the fish at the aquarium but here's Grace steering a ship and petting a moose.





She found a rock trail and insisted we follow it vs. the sidewalk!


We saw a sailboat race from our hotel balcony.


This is the ship we saw come in.


This was our horse "Doc".

  1. Gracie, you were smart to wake up so early, because you guys had a really busy day with planned and unplanned activities. Would you please bring some of Duluth's nice cool weather back with you when you come home.
    We heard you were visiting the train museum today. Have fun!
