Dave and Nancy’s 50th, at the Gunflint lodge

We had a pro photographer come take group pictures.  These are my outtakes. Dave and Nancy, Paula and Jeremy, Tim, Eileen, and Madeline in attendance.

Madeline was about six months old.  We schlept 100 pounds of baby gear through the Minneapolis airport on a 99F day to our rental car, then drove north for 4-5 hours to the Gunflint lodge.

I remember that Pops had paid for the Platinum meal plan at the lodge’s 4 star restaurant.  Giant breakfasts, “a little lunch” in our cabin, a five course meal every night.  There was little to be done towards burning away the 7,000 calories we were packing in every day.   I gained 10 pounds.  Great time all the way around tho.

We stopped in at Silver Bay on the way home to visit Uncle Ed.  Here’s a few random shots.
