The Honeymoon...!!!
Well... just in case some of you might have wondered what we did for our honeymoon... we brought a few pictures back to let you have a sneak-peek on our trip to Duluth...
It was a great trip. One in which we took our time relaxing and enjoying the sites, sounds, and sun of a carefree week of life. Completely enjoying the one time of life when responsibility seems to fade away from all thought.

Was the basic arrival and "Whew! I can't believe we're married!" stuff. We found a cool ski lodge at Spirit Mountian to live in for the week and enjoyed it thoroughly.

Sleeping in took on a whole new meaning ;), recovering from a very long, full, and happy day from the wedding. Taking time to spend with God instead of trying to find some random church was very much a comfort and a blessing in the first complete day of being married... and comes highly recomended as an awesome experience. So we kept it simple...
Ah... yes, Duluth in the summer... what shall we do? We started off by strolling the lake lock (which we frequently did) and then taking in a movie. But not just any movie, no, this was the Omnimax. We're not talking big screen, we're talking REALLY BIG SCREEN. Thus superman became much larger than life (approximately 300 times larger).
weather. We opted to take in some of the natural habitat and wildlife and visited the Great Lakes Aquarium. 
Fish are always fun, but they happened to have an exhibit on the Great Abyss and featured a plethora of information on the watery depths. http://www.glaquarium.org
Started out the day with omlette's for breakfast... the only way to start the day! We decided that we were getting the hang of this one activity a day thing... so we attempted two, back-to-back.
First we started off with a North Shore Scenic Railroad train ride along Lake Superior, and followed that with a cruise on that same gorgeous body of water, on a perfect day, with the perfect person! And for dinner we finished off the evening with Mark grilling steak out in the fresh, open air.
We wanted to get out and explore the country... so we took off up the North Shore. If you ever get the chance you should take the trip up the North Shore of Lake Superior. Gooseberry Falls, Two Harbors Lighthouse, 
and Split Rock Lighthouse were on the agenda for the day. They were ranged from the hiking trails of the falls up and down the river, the pier out of Two Harbors, and the historic scenic information of Split Rock. The day in which we covered the most ground by far, over
100 miles up and back viewing these grand displays of both natural wonder and man's attempt to adapt to the wild, untameable water. After our grand tour of the broad
expanse of the North Shore... we went back into Duluth for a fine dinner at the Radisson's revolving resturant and enjoyed quite a unique, once in a lifetime dining experience.
Wow the week when by so fast! But we loved every minute! We finished the week with both the refinement of high city class culture, as well as the enjoyment of complete bliss in vacationing. It was decided that for the majority of the day we would just leisurely take 
our time at the beach, enjoying the 90' weather and the cool refreshing water of Lake Superior. And then finished the day, and ultimately the week in style by visiting the Duluth Playhouse for their version of "Once Upon A Mattress"... which was an outstanding preformance.
It brought to a prefect conclusion, a perfect honeymoon... and is entirely the best way to start the (well... most of the time ;) perfect relationship!
One last part to this story that makes
life interesting and keeps one humble happened to us on our way back from the honeymoon. We were traveling down I-35 from Duluth to the cities in no-man's-land Minnesota and were about 2 hours out of Duluth when one of the cars tires blew out and went flat. We had to unload all our travel bags and wedding clothes and dig out the spare. Taking it in stride, we had the 
tire changed in 10 minutes and then drove on that for the next 100 miles until we made it to Minneapolis where we could find a place that was open that had tires and could change it out for us. What a way to start out... nothing like a little faith in God to keep us focused where we need to be.

As we would come to find out, this day was typical of the week, 80-ish and perfect sunny
weather. We opted to take in some of the natural habitat and wildlife and visited the Great Lakes Aquarium.
