Lake Superior

We had a bucket list going for our last little while in Minnesota. Things we wanted to do and see before we left and then covid started to shut things down. We hit up Mall of America and Nelsons one more time before things got shut down. Heading up North to go see Lake Superior was on our list. So one June day we packed up all the kids drove for 2 hours. All the public beaches were packed so we pulled off the side of the road and found the beautiful little rocky beach we hiked down to and had the whole shore to ourselves. The water was way too cold to actually swim but the kids loved playing on the beach and finding rocks. We lasted for several hours before Sophie needed a nap. It was still such a weird time having to stop at gas stations and let the kids use the bathrooms in shifts wearing masks because we didn't bring enough. The pictures don't do justice to how gorgeous Lake Superior was. It really did feel like an ocean because you could just barely see the other side.
