Homeward Bound!

Homeward Bound! We left Birch Villa at 8:07 a.m. We had eaten a very light breakfast of leftover scraps of food. We hit the mall in Duluth at about 10:30 (CT) time and our first stop was Barnes & Noble where Seth purchased the 7th and final Harry Potter book. (We knew this routine well, as we had to do the same thing 2 years ago for the 6th book.)

We ate brunch/lunch in the food court and then did a little more shopping for school uniforms for the girls (clothing is tax-free in Minnesota!). We hit the road again at 12:30. The ride home was pretty uneventful. We luckily found our little bike on top of the car to be slipping off while at a gas station and tied it back on before we lost it completely on the road.

We stopped at Culver's for supper, and arrived home at 12:45 a.m. ET (11:45 CT), making the trip, with shopping, in about 15:45. We were tired, but thankful to be home and looking forward to sleeping in our own beds again. We were also thankful for another great vacation at Cass Lake and can't wait until next year!
