After a wonderful stop outside Minneapolis, Minnesota to visit family we are back on the road to get to Mackinac Island on Lake Huron. Just about an hour outside of Lake Ham, MN, we finally saw a bear! A darling black bear was crossing the road and after he got across, he turned to look at us and showed us his darling brown snout as if he was posing for a picture. Unfortunately, I wasn’t quick enough to grab my phone.

We made it to a small town, Munising, Michigan, on Lake Superior and walked on the beach near Pictured Rocks before hitting the sheets. Being in the car for so many hours a day is taking its toll and we are both starting to wear down. But the beach was rejuvenating and it was enjoyable to watch Audrey climbing driftwood.
