What a morning!!! It is so cold here in Duluth it is unbelievable! We got up and got ready, bundled up and headed down to Park Point an island out in the middle of Duluth harbor where the kids go to the beach!
First off though my sweet southern kids found patches of snow and played and played!
We walked a little over a mile down the beach finding patches of snow a d fun things. On the way back my legs were stinging they were so cold, I was the only one without long johns on! 
We headed back to the town after our beach time, and found my favorite coffee shop! I was so excited to find it and share it with Ry. She is becoming quite the coffee lover! ☕️
We decided to head up to Enger Tower to see a panoramic view of Duluth! We pulled in and parked on a small hill that was icy, Alan got out to check and the car started sliding backwards!! I was freaking out!!! So we decided not to park and just drive around. We saw some beautiful views of the town below!
We also found some real snow for Bree, she has been wanting snow since we left Georgia!! We stumbled on two frozen lakes and lots of snow!! 
After grabbing lunch we headed more north up the north shore of Lake Superior! It was such a beautiful drive! We are headed to Tofte, 60 miles from Canada! It sits on the 47th parallel, higher than our relatives in Quebec, Canada!
It does not disappoint! It is a beautiful place!
Our hotel is right on the lake, and our room overlooks the lake!!
We got here right as the sun was setting, which is relatively early, around 4pm so we were able to see a gorgeous sunset! The girls enjoyed cracking the ice on the rocks as we watched the waves break and splash!
After dark we headed to a slightly bigger town even further north for dinner. When we got there almost everything was closed! Covid has really shut everything down. We were happy to find a pizza place still open. It has been making pizzas here since 1981, as old as I am!! We ran to a grocery store for some salad fixings and had a delicious pizza and salad dinner in the car!
We headed back to our rooms and got cozy watching more Hallmark movies and the Muppet Christmas Carol!
More exploring tomorrow!!
