Scott had to meet with a client in Duluth and Meadow was off from school. So another opportunity to take a little trip. I'm going to be shooting 360s for Visit Duluth this winter. Going to be photographing Spirit Mountain, around town and  Bentleyville, of course!

Meadow loves to climb on anything she can get her little legs on. I guess she had an inkling that she'd be stuck in the car for the next few hours.

Christmas morning I had breakfast by myself while Scott and Meadow slept in. Scott missed out on the french toast. My dad later told me that is was REALLY good. Meadow got in her Christmas outfit and we packed up and left.  Scott wanted to check out more of the city. I think Brooke wanted to just as much as me.

The eastern market area looks like it would be a lot of fun when it's open.  I'm amazed at all the graffiti in this city.  With it being Christmas morning no one was outside which made the city seem creepier.

Again, that's what I call a vacation. Plan for the unplanned.  Scott and Katrina had been here before, but it was my first time.  I didn't realize there were so many different forms of public transportation here. I like that they still use all the old cars from other cities. This one was the Twin Cities one. It's also kind of sad that all these cities don't use them anymore. These PCC cars were from the last decade of the Twin City Lines' existence  Since they were in very good shape, they were sold to far-flung places like Mexico City and Newark. The cars that now ride along Market Street were sent from New...
