So Much Beauty In Dirt

As far back as I can remember my family has always taken a Labor Day trip. And we go to the same spot every time. Lower Bowns Reservoir. You may say that is boring to take the same trip year after year...but you would be very wrong to say that. For the beauty and the wonder of that area is unsurpassed. Without exaggeration it is one of my favorite places on Earth. I love it. This year, I will not be going.

Everyday I am with Morgan I am reminded of more reasons why I love her. We both LOVE to travel. Taking random trips to places neither of us have been to is excited. I love it!

A few days ago Morgan and I decided to take advantage of my paid vacation, and go exploring in Northern Minnesota. We found a spot that looked good. And we left.

A beautiful four hours north of us lies a town called, Duluth. It is built right on the shoreline of Lake Superior. Here is a map! It is quite possibly one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen. The water is dark blue. Deep and entrancing. We fell in love immediately.

We ventured further along the coast. Making stops at Gooseberry Falls, and Split Rock Lighthouse. Hiking and taking pictures along the way.

I have always wanted a woman who is not afraid to go camping for days. I mean, real camping. You know, tent in the middle of the wilderness. Eating food cooked off a small camp grill. Fishing. Hunting. Hiking. Exploring. I am so lucky to have Morgan in my life!

After an amazing camping trip, we headed to Minneapolis and a Twins game. It was an amazing weekend. I need another.
