Girls Weekend in Minnesota

A couple of years ago our friend Amanda strong-armed us into doing a girl's weekend.  Our mutual friend Tina had passed away, and at her funeral they talked about her group of friends she traveled with.  It was a bit of a catalyst to reunite us.  Everyone except Amanda had moved away from Ohio to other parts of the country, and she was determined to get us back together.  I'm so glad she did, because I now look forward to our weekends every year.  This year we chose to stay along Lake Superior just north of Duluth, Minnesota.  Rebecca and I drove up to Minneapolis to pick up the rest of the girls at the airport.  We did a couple things in Minneapolis before traveling north to Twin Harbors.  

Since it's right next to the airport we stopped in at Mall of America to get the flavor and then headed to an early dinner at Club 5-8 where I introduced the ladies to the Juicy Lucy.  It's essentially a cheeseburger where the cheese is melted inside two patties.  They're delicious.

They humored me by going to see the huge spoon with the cherry on it.  It's an iconic fixture of Minnesota.  

It was dark by the time we made it to Twin Harbors just as it began to downpour.  It made for an eventful trip into our Air BnB.  Kortney pulled out all of the stops and got us matching pajamas and socks.  They are seriously the comfiest pajamas I've ever worn.  Thank you, Target and Kortney!
