Next we drove along the Green Bay and walked around a little park to make sure that we had a good view of Lake Michigan. (I really wanted to see all of the great lakes on our "little road trip").
Stopped for a tasty little picnic lunch on the lake shore and enjoyed our leftover pizza from the evening before. Kinda chilly weather.
So it turns out that the Michigan "U.P." is pretty remote. Very pretty and forested, but filled with random little small towns. Good thing we had our road atlas! No cell phone reception. Also, Nathan HAD to stop and enjoy a milkshake from a local shop.
So we had decided earlier that we wanted to make a detour and see the Painted Rocks National Lakeshore up on Lake Superior. What a great place! Jackson really wanted to hike to the Munising Falls and then really wanted to view it from every possible angle. Sooo, we humored him.
Also, we drove out to Miners Castle (this cool towering rock formation). What was most amazing was the color of the water. It looked like the Caribbean!
It was amazing to experience some of the optical illusions there too... or maybe it's just the crazy difference in height between the two of us...
Spent the night in "the Soo", or Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan and enjoyed a game of minigolf (with a view of the Canadian border) to finish the evening.
