In our entire relationship we've never had a weekend. We work opposite schedules most of the week, doubles for C on the weekends, so our relationship and the time we spend together looks different. This weekend we escaped for a night and spent some quality time together.
We stayed at Pier B resort. I would 100% recommend it if you are thinking of visiting Duluth in the near future. The staff was warm and friendly. The food at the Silo's restaurant was to die for. The view from our room was breathtaking. It was so hard to leave yesterday knowing I would've given my right arm for another day.
We adventured to Blacklist Brewery. It's super unfortunate that Superior Street is all torn up with construction. Our plan was to bump around there all evening, but that was quickly derailed when we had to walk blocks out of the way to move one city block. I had a peach barrel age IPA and he had a raspberry seltzer. He's an avid seltzer fan and this he said was his favorite very light and refreshing.
From there we went back to Canal Park. We went to Canal Park Brewing where I found this great sign :) I had Oktober fest and he had a cider.
Then we walked to Vikre Distillery. I am usually not a huge spirit drinker, but after trying this vodka in a mule at dinner we decided to give it a try. Our hands down favorite was the Irish Wristwatch. Super easy to drink and not too heavy.
We woke up Sunday morning and went to Caribou to grab a coffee and hit the board walk. First off, the Nitro High Rise is AMAZING. Ignore the calories and just try it. I promise you won't be disappointed. Then we hit the boardwalk and just meandered, watched the boats come in, and took some typical touristy pictures.
Then we went to Bent Paddle and OKC Smokehouse for lunch. C had the Brisket, mac and cheese, and creamy coleslaw. I had the chicken tacos and elote. Both were awesome and we will absolutely go back again.
They also have the cutest to go s'mores kits that you can take and roast on their outdoor patio. How adorable is that?
All in all it was a wonderful trip and we are already looking forward to going back!
