North Shore

As a sort of babymoon/5 yr anniversary trip we spent the weekend at the Baptism River Inn (Silver Bay, MN; ~ 1hr. north of Duluth)  We hiked three waterfall hikes, ate at some cozy diners, and just embraced our last getaway before HJ's arrival.

The Baptism River was about 100 ft. from our balcony and we were able to fall asleep to the rushing water. 

 

The waterfall hikes weren't too long, says the non-pregnant one, but what they lacked in length they made-up for in elevation.  Almost everyone we met on the trails commented on how "brave" Liz was for attempting the hikes.  Liz was definitely a trooper, but we already knew that.  It's fun to think that HJ has such an adventurous mom...even at 33 weeks pregnant.  

And here are a few of our favorite pictures from the hikes.

And my favorite...

This weekend we're off to Cumberland, WI for the Hedke baby shower.  Don't forget to vote on HJ's arrival date, weight, and length in the right-hand column.  You can vote once for expected due date, once for weight, and once for length-for a total of 3 votes.
