(Copied from the family blog)
We went on an impromptu road trip with Christian last Thursday.
Christian mentioned having to go to Duluth for a dinner meeting for work, so I asked if it might be possible for us to ride along with him. He said we could as long as he could sneak away from work at the office early that morning. Christian texted me at 11 am saying he was on his way home! We ate lunch together and then got in the car with the two kids.
Christian still had to take some work calls in the car.
It took Jackson 2 hours to fall asleep. He kept asking to "get out." Sorry Jackson...
I got some nice fall pictures on the way up! I wish more of the leaves would have turned colors by then though.
Duluth from the (almost) top of the hill.
We parked at the restaurant Christian was meeting at and walked around a bit first. Jackson was pretty adamant about walking and not being pushed in the stroller. I let Jackson walk next to me for about half a mile until I made him get in the stroller. The sidewalk was too close to the road and fast moving cars, and that was about as far as I could handle being panicky about him running into the street. While Christian was in his meeting the kids and I walked to a park. Jackson ate some fries but he was too excited about the park to eat much.
This very friendly seagull thought he might help Jackson out with the fries.
Jackson rode on things,
climbed on things,
and took a selfie with me.
Jackson met a friend at the park, too. The boy was a kindergartner, and was really happy to have a little friend to show around the park. I talked to his dad for a while before we both had to leave.
Finally, Christian was done with his meeting and took us around to see the boats on the water.
Jackson really had a good time.
He kept referring to the water as a "bath." A bath for the boats maybe?
We left before it got dark and were home before 9 pm.
