<p>Look at me! I am posting about something that happened only a couple weeks ago instead of a couple months ago! Woo hoo!</p>
<p>Over Labor Day weekend we went up to the north shore with a couple friends. They are also having a baby a few weeks before us. So it was a nice get away for us all before our lives busy themselves up with babies.</p>
<p>On the way up there, Chuck and I stopped at the <a href="http://www.dnr.state.mn.us/state_parks/soudan_underground_mine/index.html">Soudan Underground Mine</a>. It was so cool. Chuck had been there a few times and we have talked many times about going there. So this time we made the trip. You ride this creepy &#8220;elevator&#8221; that they used to haul the miners up and down and then take a ride into the mine. It stays around 50* year round there. It was very cool to see. </p>
<p>You can also walk around and see some of the buildings that they used for mining. It was a chilly, rainy day, but I am so glad we went. <a href="http://chuckhays.net/gallery/v/andi/2010/LaborDayWeekend/SoudanMine/">HERE</a> are the pictures from the mine.</p>
<p>We did some hiking, sitting around, eating, hanging out by the lake&#8230;<a href="http://chuckhays.net/gallery/v/andi/2010/LaborDayWeekend/BluefinBay/">HERE</a> are our pictures from those various activities.</p>
<p>We also played some tennis. I played a VERY little bit. I am terrible at tennis and this belly of mine was just not helping. I was getting exhausted quickly, too. So I took some pictures instead. <a href="http://chuckhays.net/gallery/v/andi/2010/LaborDayWeekend/Tennis/">HERE</a> are those pictures. </p>
<p>We had a great weekend and it was so nice to get away for a long weekend!</p>
