park point paradise

I'm on call for work this weekend and got my first call at 7:45 this morning. So, no sleeping in for me today! I actually had a productive morning. I finished typing up my homework from 8-11am so that I could enjoy the rest of the weekend. Had a conference call at 11am with my group to pass off the torch and then enjoyed the afternoon with my favorite peeps:

We did a 2 hour hike on park point this afternoon.
Found this sign of spring:
An old lighthouse:
An abandoned military building (I think):
The little explorer:
It's the first official weekend of spring and it also happened to be the opening of the shipping season. This ship is docked in Superior, WI:
We found a fun path along the shore on the bay side. We got up close to these old ore docks:
We were pretty far from home today! This is the breaking wall for the ships that enter the WI entrance. The hill in the background is Duluth:
Roots:
We all had a complete blast today!!
For our evening entertainment we went to the movie Crazy Heart at Zinema 2. We recommend it! Feels good to have some fun for once without the guilt of having school work waiting for me.
Looking forward to sleeping in tomorrow (except Mikey... duty calls at 7am).
