Breakfast in the Piedmont Room at, sunrise.

Of course, when you are well up north and at the extreme west edge of the Eastern time zone, sunrise comes late. We sat a respectable distance from the lively fireplace, had the Early Riser’s Special, and watched the snow come down as the sun came up. And, yesterday, after cocktails in the Sky Room overlooking Lake Superior, delicious surf and turf.

When we arrived at the Landmark’s front desk yesterday afternoon we were absolutely surprised to find a gift card in our way. Thanks Abby and Tony and Brian and Renee!

On the way home we stopped at Aunt Janet’s for lunch and a chat. And then to Bywater Lane for some brief play time with the kids, and to pick up Pax. Thanks to Abby, Katy, Will, and Buddy for having him stay overnight.
