Dad and I are leaving this afternoon for Duluth! We will see Nate tomorrow and are very excited. Then we are taking a little time to go to the Apostle Islands on Lake Superior and do some kayaking.

The girls will hold down the fort, and in particular, give Hobart lots of walks and attention.

Last night we had dinner with Judy and her son Max down at the Wharf. It was fun.

And here is the letter we got from N today, before we left. I was sad to see that he signed it “Love, Nate” instead of “Dear, Nate” which I thought was so cute.
