Duluth Minnesota Vacation







We have lived in Minnesota for almost three years now and just took our first Minnesota vacation earlier this month. There are so many amazing places to visit up North so we look forward to more of these adventures.

We drove up to Duluth which is an industrial city right on lake Superior and about three hours from our home. It is home to the 4th largest port in the United States. Lake Superior is the largest largest, deepest, cleanest, and also coldest lake out of the great lakes.

We took a sunset cruise on Lake Superior, visited the popular aquarium, and took a 2 hour scenic train ride during our trip. We also drove up to Gooseberry Falls and Two Harbors Minnesota along the Northern shore of Lake Superior. We were able to see lighthouses and walk right up to the falls which was a cool experience. We also swam twice at our hotel and spent time watching the enormous ships go right past us under the Ariel bridge and through the canal. The kids loved watching the bridge go up and we were all amazed by the size of the ships.
