kristi and i wanted to get growlers and lay on a beach. so we went to duluth!

we actually missed the correct exit in order to get to the beach. oops.

is duluth ever really warm and sunny?

duluth is always scenic, at least.

i imagine that countless people have gotten engaged on that boardwalk. i know at least one, i guess.

giant beer at fitger’s brewhouse.

i got a growler of starfire, yum!

and then we decided to take a scenic drive up a very tall hill!

i am constantly photographing flowers. they are just so photograph-able!

on our way home we very nearly got smashed by a tornado. can you believe that! silly midwestern weather.
