Map of Duluth Playgrounds

Living in a new city with kids means finding playgrounds is a big necessity.  Unfortunately, I had trouble getting a list of playgrounds only.  Not wooded areas, not hiking trails, but areas with slides, swings and such.  I was excited to finally get my hands on a list of playgrounds from Duluth Parks Department but not knowing the city by heart meant I still didn't know where to try.  Soooo, I made my very own google map of the locations the parks department listed on their handout.  I figured I might as well post it here so I could share it with anyone else who needs such.

Week 26

Inordinate number of baby pictures this week.  And late, but you know....
June 21: Leaving our house in Ashland....
June 22: This little guy adapted to his new surroundings without a hiccup
June 23: In fact, he loves the front porch swing.  It calms him no matter what's wrong.
June 24: And mommy loves Home Depot.   A little too much...
June 25: Lachlan started grabbing things and staring at his feet.  This growing business is for the birds.
June 26: Except for the smiles.  The smiles are awesome.
June 27: Three across in a Prius.  It is possible.  :)  This is two forward facing Diono Radian 100's and a rear facing Graco Snugride.  Once L is too big for the infant seat, we will be turning Ev's Radian rear-facing in the middle and Everett will move to the BubbleBum booster we already have.  I like having them harnessed as long as possible, but I'm not going to buy another Diono for a 6 year old.
