| Duluth and Jay Cooke State Park |
|
The first Saturday of October, we took a trip up to Duluth and Jay Cooke State Park, to enjoy the beautiful fall day and see some fall color. We had a fun-filled, busy day. After arriving in Dululth, we spent about an hour walking around the Duluth harbor. We then took an approximately 2-hour train ride along the St. Louis River, amid beautiful fall scenery. William is really into "choo choo's" so he had a blast. Finally, we spent the afternoon and evening until dark at Jay Cooke State Park. We took a short hike, grilled ourselves a picnic supper, then took a bike ride down the nearby state trail. It was a beautiful and very enjoyable fall day.

Going backOn the way back, they moved the engine to the back of the train, where there was an open car. We spent about half the ride out there since it was so pretty out.
