Up North

The Thomberg's, Grandpa David and Nana Chris are back from a few days Up North at Tofte/Lutsen. Here is photo recap of our time away.

Dean's favorite activity was feeding Earl and all the other sea gulls in front of our condo at Blue Fin Bay on Lake Superior. One day he started picking the bread off the grass and eating it himself....Hmm - Time for lunch? Well.. the bread was organic, whole grain with no high fructose corn syrup (purchased from Costco)!

Marly's favorite activity was shopping at the Trading Post in Grand Marais. Nana Chris bought her the sunglasses she sported all around town.

The Thomberg's on the beach at Grand Marais. Mark is trying to hide his boot cast behind him.

Marly & Dean throwing rocks with Grandpa. Throwing rocks was a frequent activity at various locations including the traditional Lutsen Resort where we ate dinner on Saturday.

Mom's favorite activity was strolling with Marly, Dean & Daddy (the photographer).

Marly and Dean relaxing outside the New Scenic Cafe (http://www.newsceniccafe.com/) outside of Duluth on our way home. Mark really wanted to eat at the Angry Trout in Grand Marais, which boasts locally grown produce, etc. We did not get the opportunity. We had an equally good lunch at the Scenic on our way home. Mark had an asparagus and egg sandwich. I had an avocado, bacon, sandwich with jalapeno spread (along with a soothing glass of Pinio Grigio). M & D had Boca nuggets!

We can't wait to go back in the years ahead as the kids are able to enjoy more and more activities.
