Stacie's Visit to Duluth, MN - August, 2011

Our niece from York, Pennsylvania came to Minnesota to visit us the first week of this month. She flew into Minneapolis and visited with our daughter (her cousin) and her family in Hudson, WI for 2 days, then came up to Duluth. Stacie was here with her Mother and my parents back in the early 70's when she was about a year and a half old. Of course, she doesn't remember that...ha ha.

She is a school teacher, so has the summers off. When I go back to PA to visit all my family and friends there, I always encourage everyone to come out and visit our beautiful area! It's been many years since we have hosted anyone here, so I was so delighted when she told me in early 2011 that she would be out to see us!

I took her all over Duluth and the North Shore and showed her everything. We also went shopping

at the shops at Canal Park, downtown, and our Mall (though our mall is nothing compared to the malls in the York area!) She was impressed though with the Mall of America in Bloomington! We did a lot of eating out at our great restaurants...and we all had a great time. My posts below this are of the different places that we went to. It was great fun!1


There was a 5 K Run at our Lake Superior Zoo...Stacie does running, so she participated in this and was happy with her time.

We went to see a show at the Teatro Zuccone one of our new theatres for live performances. My friends were in the show "The Wild Party", and one of them directed it. It was a fun evening.

Enjoying the intermission....

This is in downtown Duluth in the old Historic section of town, across from Old Hotel Duluth, that is now Greysolon Plaza.
