duluth: windy beach day


We go up to Duluth, Minnesota every handful of months, sometimes a year, to have our family photographs taken by a very talented photographer up there who happens to be friends of a friend. My husband got his undergraduate degree (in biology!) up there, and I've always loved this town, so it's no trouble to travel for photos when you can get a sweet family trip out of it as well. We usually visit the beach on Lake Superior and this particular time it was dramatically windy.


It's never warm enough to comfortably swim in the Great Lakes, but it's nice to dip a toe and watch. I grew up near Lake Michigan--at least my teenage years--and we went in sometimes in the very center of summer, but mostly only if we swam on the bay side. Our kids are happy enough to run around on the beach and collect stones and feathers and such. I'm just so very happy to see green again.
