We Came - Dad and Nana, The Thomberg's, and Brett and Rachel. (The Thomberg's headed to Duluth for an overnight Monday before heading on to Lutsen.)
We Stayed - Up North at Caribou Highland Lodge. (And at a Kidz Suite at the Holiday Inn Duluth which I got for a steal on a silent auction benefiting Gillette)

-S'mores at the resort camp fire.
We Discovered -
