Weekend of fun... Post Pandamic!

 It feels like we are now in Post mode.. That's beyond Covid 19! Steve and I did in reverse what we did right before the middle to end March 2020 Covid-19 lock down. We visited Hastings, had dinner and drinks inside! No masks! Since we have been fully vaccinated, and the mask mandate via the CDC says everyone vaccinated no longer needs masks. Low rate of catching and near impossible to transmit to others. It still feels weird to go without a mask. We have been sooo careful this past year. We threw caution to the wind and went with being a non masker. I felt a bit like a self centered trumpet, But then reminded myself, it's okay. We have permission to do this from the government health experts! 

Steve  and I split the beef fajita chimichanga. I cut it so I'd have a much smaller half, just added more salas  on top! 

We shared some beers to try two different IPA's. 


This weekend we were off to Duluth. We had our last winter trip up there before the lock down on Valentine's Day. There was too much  snow to stop at the cemetery where Steve's grandparents, aunt and uncle are buried.  We also drove by the school house his grandmother attended till 8th grade in the town of Clover Dale, next to Hinkley. The school has seen better days as it has not been taken care of and is falling down. 

We spent the night up by Duluth at Black Bear Casino Hotel. 

I hit four of a kind at least once and played on my $20 for a few hours. Today, I played another $20 and of course lost that too but was able to play for a long time on that amount which was entertainment value. I don't mind donating my money as long as it lasts a good long time before I go bust!  

There's my 4 queens! 125 nickels! A whole $6.25 I won on my queens! Steve and I don't play the machines in the same area, so we share our "big" wins with each other via text message and photos! He won back $125 he put in so almost broke even but was still down entertainment value. I feel like true addicted gamblers only tell you what they won, never what they put in and lost to "win". 

We stopped at a few breweries in Duluth that we've never been to before. Had a beer at each. We were close enough to all to walk to  each  location. 




Walked Lake Superior along the new board walk to Cannel park.
