Gone Heiken: Van Trip & Cabin Time

Van Trip & Cabin Time: June 2020

Tuesday, June 23rd: Sam's birthday in Bayfield

Celebration cupcakes from Third Street Bakery for Sam's birthday.

Pack up the van and left Duluth about 4pm, headed to Bayfield, WI. Picnic dinner at a park on the calm, lovely Lake Superior. Drive to Whiting Rd trailhead for a chill evening. So thankful for the screen on the sliding door -- mosquitoes are HORRIBLE

Wednesday, June 24th: Ashwabay

Good night for Hayden! Comfy bed sitch. Woke up around 6, relaxing.

Very delicious pancakes, bacon, strawberries and banana for breakfast. Little sprinkle, but Mary rode the Tsugar Daddy (6 mi) lap. Beautiful sunny day ahead. Sam did several laps while Mary and Hayden napped. The perfect trailhead sleep and morning rides situation!

Lunch from Ashland's Burger Barn, picnic at Plaza park. Pretty flowers. Now, on to Spencer's cabin!

Little Elsie and baby Hayden meet. Hang outside, inside, by the lake. Spencer and Sam put in the dock. Grilled chicken, brats, sweet corn for dinner. Lovely cabin escape.

Thursday, June 25th: Spencer's cabin

Beautiful morning! Spence and Sam put the dock in.

Afternoon siesta then lake time. Hayden likes the water! Tolerated her swimsuit!

Fun hanging out with little Elsie, playing and roaring with/at Hayden. Made pizzas to grill for dinner - delicious! Sam went for a bike ride. Hanging by the fire, made s'mores, ate marshmallows.

Elsie is very adorable with Hayden. Relaxing evening; watched Shrek.

Friday, June 26th: Back to Duluth

Another beautiful morning! Playing with Elsie and Betty. Braided Elsie's hair like Elsa.

Delicious breakfast, cleaned up the cabin and headed towards Winman trails. I rode a 6-mile or so loop, but it was heating up really fast so we opted to hit the road for home. Gyro lunch from the eclectic, weird gyro place in Ashland. Home by 2pm.
