A Day on the Big Lake (aka Lake Superior )

While the pictures look beautiful and sunny, I cannot tell a lie, it was pretty cold! Our timing was perfect, so we were able to watch a huge Iron Ore ship pass through the canal and under the Duluth lift bridge. We did a little research when we got home and found out that the ship we saw is about 200 feet longer than the Titanic. There is a great little museum there, Maggie filled up on interesting facts that she has been quizzing us on ever since and Seamus looked at maps. My favorite pic here is when the guys on the ship were waving at Seamus! Piper would have waved, but her hand was stuck in the camera case...
