Although I love where I live now, I am lucky to live close to my favorite lake & city.
There are corners of that city that will forever hold memories that are dear to me. The memories are vast and varied. And they come flooding back each time I drive back into the city.
Since I no longer have family there, my mom, daughter and I rented a house last week in Duluth, creating new memories together. These memories make my heart happy.
We had big plans of all sorts of things to do and instead spent most of the time at the lake, swimming, jumping, splashing, building sand castles, skipping and collecting rocks- the simple things I live for. The things my little girl and mom appreciate just as much as I do.
We got up way too early to watch a sunrise only to see the fog welcome the day... Ah, but the memories!
We stopped at the bakery that was right across from where I bought my first house back in college.
We fed (well, the little one chased) the seagulls and watched the ships go through the canal, something that never gets old.
We picnicked and collected pinecones and visited with old friends. We rode a trolley. Several times.
It was a perfect vacation, one of rest and relaxation (which was the goal) the memories will stay with me for a long time.
