Trip to Minnesota, part 1

First big vacation since COVID19 pandemic so we went back to Minneapolis and drive up along Lake Superior to the Canadian boarder…

RDU International Airport (Raleigh/Durham)
SouthWest Airlines 737 Max 8 aircraft
The Minneapolis- St Paul International Airport is across from The Mall of America and an IKEA … so it was lunch time.
Love their Swedish meatballs at the cafe.

And then it was off to Two Harbors, MN and our hotel: Northern Rail Train Car Inn

The motel was created from railway cars connected with a roof to create a hallway.
The hillside was covered in lupines.

The hotel common area.

The first we visited Two Harbors, MN

And stopped at Silver Cliff Park which was created from the old road along the lake when a tunnel was created in the 80s
