18 weeks & anniversary weekend

We celebrated our 5th wedding anniversary by taking a long weekend trip to Duluth. Thursday morning we dropped of Darpy at the Regel's and headed up to Duluth. We had a great lunch at Sir Ben's on the patio.



Then walked around the Rose Garden, beautiful flowers and they smelled so good! It was a awesome, sun shiny day!








Next, stopped at our hotel...the Comfort Suites(where Paul worked in college) to drop off our luggage. We had a room on the lake side with a gorgeous view! Then we went to the Dewitz Seitz building were the are a bunch of unique shops and a new favorite place called Northern Waters Smokehaus which has the best smoked salmon! We bought some salmon(one dill and one Cajun flavored), had to also get a cold Fanta in a bottle! (last time I had a Fanta in a bottle was in Africa!


So we took our cold beverage and sat on a bench in canal!


Showing off my amazing, gorgeous anniversary band Paul got me for our 5th anniversary gift! I'm so spoiled :0)


Then we freshened up at the hotel, stopped at my nephews baseball game to see him play and say hi to my sister and Piper. Then off to dinner at Blackwoods restaurant, great meal. And had to end he might at (a swanky bar with good appetizers, drinks and fondue!) So, Paul's dessert was a martini...


And mine was Lady Godiva fondue :0) I did end up sharing


Great end to the night and wonderful to wake up for the sun rise!


We spent the rest of the weekend at the Menard cabin and had a wonderful, relaxing time!

Then home after a awesome long weekend. And to end, a baby bump picture at 18 weeks!
