Hi folks! I apologize for the lack of post on Friday- Weebly was not working so great for me...
Beach Fun!
Five had a lovely time at the beach on Park Point, although there was NO swimming in water that cold! He doesn't really care as long as there's sand (and anything else he can get his hands on) to eat.
We got to watch about 30 sailboats disappear into the distance as part of the weekly sailboat races, so Fred was in heaven too.
I laid on the blanket. Good enough for me.

An Ode to the William A Irvin
Hello, beautiful ship, it's been too long- nearly 6 years. How we've missed you.
Your many levers and dials and gauges helped you traverse the Great Lakes accurately for 40 years.
Your living chambers may have seemed cramped and smelly for big sailors so many years ago, but they could probably rent for a small fortune to petite hipsters today.
Your galley was well known for being well stocked in its day, but now I drool over the ability to clean it with a hose.
Give me a long walk topside with my gentleman suitor (and our sleeping babe) and I'll be happy as a clam.
Thank you, William A Irvin, not just for a lovely hour and a half, but for a new mom-friendly motto. See you in a few years.
Damn Good Pie (and everything else)
I will sing the praises of one final restaurant. The Duluth Grill was possibly my most exciting find. The exterior, as a former Embers, was unimpressive, but the menu offered more choices for me than any other in YEARS.
I was faced with crippling and unexpected indecision. Usually a menu will offer me at least one, but no more than three possibilities for a dinner meal. The Duluth Grill had more than a full page.
They offered vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options galore, but the best part was all the locally-sourced, organic, or home made ingredients.
All their meat was grass-fed, the eggs cage-free organic, and the chocolate sauce was made right in their kitchen.
Every restaurant should be like this.
They offer health benefits to all employees working more than 16 hours per week. Hot damn!
After all this good stuff, the food was DELICIOUS! I was stuffed to the gills when we left, but I took some pie to go (for our picnic lunch the next day). The above picture is what they gave us. I know, right? Unbelievable. It tasted even better than it looks.
