G is for Going

Well, where did I go?

I went to my first ever live-football game. It was a high school game in a tiny town but it wasn't a bad time. I don't know if I'll go to another one, but we'll see. It was chilly that night, with hats, mittens, and coats required. But then the biting wind was stick nipping at noses.

The Boy and I went to Duluth, MN for a weekend getaway to celebrate our four years together. On Halloween we hit that four year mark. I don't know where the time has gone. However, I do know that we mark time with "before Leukemia" and "After Leukemia." It's strange to have some a division in time like that. But we had a great time in Duluth.

We went to a micro-brewery, talked, ate, listened to some live music, and enjoyed beer. Well, The Boy drank beer (a tasting, they call it) and I smelled it. I smell the beer like people do with wine. I hate the taste, but I can understand the subtle hints they are going for...

The musician was incredible. He had such range and was fantastic on guitar. We went on a tour of the brewery and learned how they make micro-brew. It was interesting. We also went to see the lift bridge, but did not get to see it rise up and allow a ship to pass over. We went to the aquarium and saw some fishies. :) Eric saw his first otter and was entertained by what I called "a wet puppy with a big tail." The stingrays were awesome. We also had breakfast in a revolving restaurant that gave us a great view of the city our first morning there.

We enjoyed some amazing food while we were there. Nothing we ate was disgusting, which is not the case when we have gone to Rochester, MN. It was also great to go on a trip for no reason other than for us to enjoy ourselves. No doctor appointments. It was a first.

All in all, highly recommended place to vacation and we would like to go back.
