North Shore

As I mentioned in the last post, we took a quick vacation up north. To the North Shore of Lake Superior, in fact. It was quite nice to see the bright new green showing up everywhere in the spring, and the area was just beautiful. I'd highly recommend a trip up there.

We spent a few days going along the shoreline, pretty much covering the area from Duluth to Canada, stopping to wander out to the lake shore, or watch the cascades of snow melt tumble down rivers on the way to the lake. Every time we would see the rushing cascades, I would think of the story Paddle to the Sea by the wonderfully named Holling C. Holling and winner of the 1942 Caldecott Award.

For those that haven't read Paddle to the Sea, you are missing out.
