Wheel of Fun!

Friday morning we used one my groupon coupons and rode a big surrey bike along the lakewalk. Linnea was so excited to go on a bike ride and proud to be in her cute helmet! It was a great way to see Lake Superior and the shops, hotels and restaurants along the way. We stopped to dip our feet in the Lake and look for rocks but it was mighty cold! So we got back on the bike and continued on our way. We rode out to a lighthouse and then swung into eat at a Grandma's stand at which point happy Linnea was turning into tired and somewhat crabby Linnea so it was time to be done. We loved the activity though and hope to do it around Lake Calhoun here since we have another coupon!

We were able to check in early to the Marriott Residence Inn where we would finish our stay and Linnea got to take her nap and Chris and I did too! Chris unfortunately had to drive back to the Inn since we forgot a part for the computer :( Linnea woke up while he was gone and she didn't seem quite herself. She wanted to try to swim in the hotel pool anyways though so we got our suits on and went down but the water was way too COLD! So we headed back up to warm up, have a snack and watch some new shows we checked out from the library for the trip. She fell in love with stories on dvd which is fun. But she still wasn't her peppy self. Lots of cuddling and then she was getting warmer and warmer. We forgot the thermometer but I knew she had a fever so I gave her some motrin and we snuggled til Chris got back. He returned and Linnea seemed a bit better and was adamant about going to a park. I had one in mind from my searches for things to do in Duluth so we headed to Bayfront Bay playground which was lots of fun. We ended up ordering food to be picked up at the Texas Roadhouse up the road from our hotel and we just ate in our room after Linnea went to bed. She started to feel icky again by the end of the playground time and pretty much hit the hay as soon as we got into the hotel room. We enjoyed our food and were happy that a new to us True Blood was on HBO! Usually when we have HBO in a hotel nothing is on that we want to see but we lucked out this time. Overrall it was an AWESOME Friday, if only squirt didnt feel so icky.
