Grand Marais

Finally, I blog! The
weekend of October 4th two friends and I drove up to Grand Marais to
visit our friend Sarah who moved up there a few years ago. This was my first time visiting.
The thought of a road trip sounds fun at first but then after a few hours
it gets old and you just want to be there.
But it was nice to chit-chat with my lady friends and relax. But we missed our friend who couldn't come. We got up there late Friday night so it was too dark to go explore. Plus we were exhausted for sitting in the car for 5-6 hours. So we just hung out and chit-chatted while we watched Sarah's roommates cook for 2 hours. Yes, it took them almost that long to cook their food and they didn't eat until like 11:30 at night. Crazy people. ;)
Saturday morning we got up and went to go get some breakfast. We stuffed our bellies full and started our hiking. The first place we went was right in Grand Marais. I can't for the life of me remember what it was called. We watched the waves and walked to the lighthouse.
Next stop was Oberg Mountain. This is when it rained the most and it was super windy. But luckily it wasn’t so bad in the trees. It was a BEAUTIFUL place!! I'm sure it's even more beautiful when it's not super foggy and rainy. It’s amazing how much beauty can be found in Minnesota!
After Oberg we were all cold and wet so we took a small break in the car and then went to Temperance. Another beautiful place and the waves were humungous! I wasn’t paying enough attention and one got me and soaked my tennis shoes. Nothing better than soaking wet feet in 40 some degree weather! Haha. After that I was pretty much chilled to the bone and couldn’t warm up for the life of me. After Temperance we headed back to our friend’s place and played some games with her roommates.
The next morning we got up and went to get “the world’s best donuts” (which were good but definitely not the best I’ve had) and then went in some shops downtown. Then we headed home! It was such a short trip and I wish we could have stayed longer BUT I also missed Remy so very much (give me a break, it was my first weekend away from him). Now that I've been to Grand Marais I can't wait to go back and bring Phil and Remy. :) So much more to see!
On our way home we had to make a pit stop at my boss's wife's lodge to take a pic:
(And yes, all of the photos that I've posted are stolen from my friend Sarah and Jess.)
