Enger Tower








We packed up Sunday morning after another great free breakfast at the hotel and headed out with my parents to the Enger Tower to find two letterboxes. And we found them! Hooray! We also found a beautiful view of Lake Superior! Linnea made it quite a ways up the Tower too. She also decided that letterboxes were mailboxes and said, lets go find that mailbox! cute! There were beautiful Japanese Gardens and flowers all over the place. I would highly recommend doing this tourist attraction in Duluth! There was a peace bell that Linnea enjoyed ringing and ringing and ringing. From here we started our long journey home. It was already lunchtime so we stopped at a little playground in Superior for a picnic and then continued on. We tried to avoid 35 as much as possible since there was lots of construction on it but this made for a much longer way home. Thank goodness Linnea had her dvd player and we had lots of kids music. We had to stop a few times for bathroom breaks but finally made it home in time for dinner and a little unpacking. It was a wonderful trip overrall, even with a sick kiddo. We did almost everything I wanted and had planned on doing. I am still wishing I would have remembered our letterboxing stuff when we were on the Wheels of Fun! Oh well...Im sure we will be at the Lake Walk again someday and can do it then. Chris and I are looking forward to continuing our anniversary celebration with a trip (just us two) to Arizona for a friends wedding at the end of October.
