We're back! Sept 29 - Oct 1, 2018

Visited Silver Bay (Black Beach), Beaver Bay,

Two Harbors, Duluth and Superior, WI

Stayed at Superior Bay Boutique Motel Unit #10

Decided to forgo the hotel scene. Loved pulling up to our room and unloading our crap instead of checking in and luggin our suitcases upstairs.
It was cute, clean and cozy.

Dined at Shorty's Pizza and Smoked Meat Restaurant, Superior, WI.
They were featured on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives with Guy Fieri.
We ordered the Triple D pizza and omg! so good.

Went to the Lester River Rendezvous 2018 ~
Re-enactors played the parts of voyageurs and did demo's of what it was like to be early frontier settler, demonstrating the skills such as blacksmithing, weaving, tin, tanning and candle-making.
Also had live bands, artisan/craft vendors and food!

We hiked the trails afterwards, Scott carrying our single purchase -

a vintage tin can w/ a plasma cut Halloween ghoul.

You can place a candle in the base to light.

Too cute!

Hit the Cooter - Tonder and Friends Art Tour

First stop ~ Blue Skies Glassworks, Two Harbors

They had a fire, hot coffee, lots of baked goodies and Mead. Was great to meet and talk with both the artists, get a demo and see Mike's home.

Such beautiful works of art out of recycled glass.
