Everything was "northerny" up there!
The second day of our adventure it rained and rained and rained. Apparently they had the most rain in one hundred years! So we decided to forgo the ferry and the planned hike through the national forest on Madeline Island. Instead we went to the Great Northern Maritime Museum.
We spent HOURS learning about local logging, Native Americans still living in the area, and fishing.
Our third day wasn't any better with the rain. Steve at our B & B told us that there were numerous flash flood warnings in the area and in Duluth, Michigan. So we decided to go shopping at the local craft and gift shops. I bought two lawn ornaments for the front yard. We discovered a micro-brewery in Ashland, a neighboring town.
Our B & B was WONDERFUL. Steve and Nancy, the proprietors were welcoming and gracious. Nancy made the most delightful breakfasts--French toast, egg fritatta, muffins, corn bread and always always fresh fruit! We had a beautiful quaint room.
It's it cozy and relaxing? I loved the REAL plants that were in the room!
We are definitely coming back next year because we still need to go to Madeline Island and the trails that an older couple recommended. Also we want to see the mansion on the water another couple suggested seeing...
Jim liked the Pinehurst Inn too!
