PHOTO BOOK ~ ROAD TRIP 2017

I am so excited!  I just ordered my new photo book from MIXBOOKS.

I have to admit that this is one of my favorite books.  Maybe because most of my books have been of my travels in Europe and the Caribbean and this time I got to use moose stickers and old wood backdrops.  I have had so much fun creating this photo album.  You can see the entire book HERE.

You can see my post about my road trip to Minnesota and the North shore HERE.

DULUTH, MINNESOTA

When my sister and I started planning our road trip, we were heading to Colorado.  Because of endless rain in the forecast, we decided to head to the only place in the US that didn't have rain in the forecast and that was Minnesota.  

To be honest, Minnesota had never been on my radar. After playing around on Pinterest, I realized that was a lot of beauty in Minnesota, especially along the North Shore. It wasn't long before I was packing and excited about heading to an area of endless waterfalls.

TWO HARBORS LIGHT HOUSE - TWO HARBORS, MN

The Two Harbors Light is the oldest operating lighthouse in the Minnesota. Overlooking Lake Superior's Agate Bay, the lighthouse is located in Two Harbors, Minnesota.

This was not a planned stop but those are usually the best, aren't they?

We saw a a sign that said Two Harbors and made a sharp left turn.  The town was so quaint and beautiful baskets of pink flowers were hanging from lamp post around town. 

SPLIT ROCK LIGHTHOUSE ~Two Harbors, Minnesota

The most dangerous piece of water in the world - A November gale that wrecked nearly 30 ships in 1905 prompted this rugged landmark's construction. When the U.S. Lighthouse Service completed Split Rock Light Station in 1910, it soon became one of Minnesota's best known destinations.

Nestled in a Minnesota State Park, Split Rock Lighthouse is one of the most photographed and visited spots in the state.  We decided not to stop at the lighthouse and visitor center though we did drive around the area. 

If you were to google Split Rock Lighthouse, you will see some amazingly beautiful photos of the lighthouse across the bay and that was the view we were after.

We almost had the entire place to ourselves.  There was only one family on the whole beach.
