Hold the phone. I just realized there are no more pictures between LA and home! Quick recap? We left L.A stopped in SLO so I could hang out with my school chums and then...Home! You've been lucky enough to see pictures from my really high tech phone (not) so here is a dump of pictures from a real camera!
Still in Saint Paul here...
St. Paul has a beautiful area around Summit Avenue, where these fantastic old homes stand.
I mean, if you're a big architect buff, this place is heaven. You can take a walking tour of Summit Ave. and every few years, they have a tour you can take where some home owners allow you to tour their houses!
Also, these are my parents...being goofs
Summit Ave at golden hour?
See what I'm talking about?
This is the Cathedral of Saint Paul. This exact building was erected in the early 1900's however the Cathedral of Saint Paul has existed since 1841.
Fun Fact: The dome of the cathedral measures 96 feet in diameter and 175 feet high!

Look at that detail!
My summer puppy Harlee! It is still up to debate as to whether or not he actually liked me.
My other summer puppy, Cheyenne! It is still up to debate as to whether or not she loved me too much (not possible! Cheychey, come live with me in California! Please!)
Zip Zip! Off to Duluth!
What's up Lake Superior!
Fun Fact: Lake Superior is really big, like the third biggest fresh water lake in the world and the biggest in the United States!
On the way to Duluth, we stumbled upon Two Harbors Lighthouse, in Two Harbors, MN! (Very Twin Peaks, if you ask me...)
Look at that beauuutiful lake!
That is the light house (obviously, Taryn) but fun fact: you can actually stay in it because it runs as a B&B!
This guy, being cool.
Fun Fact: My dad didn't believe me when I told him that it would be really cold in Duluth, so he made my mom buy him a jacket at Costco. Really fun fact.
My 6 year old Lisa Frank affiliated adoration for dolphins forced me to snap this cute picture
You can take a walk down from the lighthouse down this realllly long pier...how long you may ask?...
....really really long. Look at those cutie pies!
Speaking of pies.... Next stop: Betty's Pies as seen here!
After a little bit of a drive....we finally made it to GOOSEBERRY FALLS!
Fun Fact: Heres either the Lower, Middle or Upper part of the falls. I'm pretty sure this the Middle of the falls.
Its a small trek to the actual falls and since there wasn't any rain we were able to walk on the rocks between the Middle and Lower falls! Look at that little adventurer!
Thar' she floowsss!
When you go visit Gooseberry Falls, theres a big deal about the CCC ! Whats the CCC you may ask? Well it's the Civilian Conservation Corps! At the brink of the Great Depression, the CCC was establish to "1) conserve our natural resources and 2) salvage our young men."
Fun Fact: The "boys" (aka the young men of the CCC) planted close to 3 billion trees!
Thanks you guys!
And...break! See you in South Dakota!
Stay tuned! Stay hungry!
