Molly and Andy Walking on the Aspenwood Beach
For years now we’ve been discussing featuring some guests and share their stories and special connections to the North Shore. We decided to make this happen to start in the summer of 2021. I happily present to you our first Guest Feature: Molly and Andy.
Molly and Andy Say “I Do” Ten Years Ago
Molly and Andy on the Aspenwood Beach
On July 3, 2011, Molly and Andy said their “I Do”s on the front lawn of Lutsen Resort in front of their closest family and friends. After their wedding, they decided to spend their honeymoon along the North Shore, rather than dash off on a plane somewhere. They spent three nights at the Aspenwood Townhomes in Lutsen.
Since that wonderful summer of 2011, they have welcomed three children into their family. As often as they can, they take little trips up to the North Shore. However, they haven’t stayed at an Aspenwood Townhome since their honeymoon. So, for their tenth anniversary, they decided to once again book a stay.
For three more nights they stayed in the same townhomes at the same time of the year as they had a decade earlier. They spent most of their days dining and shopping at area restaurants and stores. Andy would go for a jog every morning along the Gitchi Gami Trail. Along a section we believe was just under construction the last time they stayed at Aspenwood.
On a breeze July afternoon, we met up with Molly and Andy for a little photoshoot on the Aspenwood Townhomes’ beach. Then, we sat down with them in their townhome’s kitchen to see what draws them to the North Shore and to hear a little more about their wedding.
