On Friday we stopped in Hinckley and tried to win some money at the casino. We were there for about 2 hours and left with our pockets slightly lighter. After checking into the room, we went to eat at the Bluefin Grille. It was very good food.
On Saturday we slept in...yeah right. We had eaten, showered and were out the door by 10am. That is what happens when you are used to getting up at 630am everyday. We went right to Lutsen to go on the gondola ride and the alpine slide. The alpine slide was closed because of frost so we just rode the gondola. We went hiking up on the mountain and had a snack. Then we headed off to Grand Marias. We spent the afternoon looking around the shops. On our way back to Tofte, we stopped back at the mountain to see if the alpine slide was open and it was!!! So went on a ride. Saturday night we went to eat at the Cascade Restaurant. It was good but VERY slow. I think we were there for about 2 hours.
Sunday we got up and were again on the road by 10. We stopped at Betty's Pie's and had lunch and a piece of pie. We brought home pies for the Grandma's. Hopefully they were good. We stopped at Black Bear Casino on the way home. We were only there 45 minutes but we left with some money in our pockets....that was nice. It wasn't much, but better than the casino having it!!
Here are some pictures of the weekend.
