We pulled up stakes after 2 nights in the same place (!) and headed west through the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Just outside of Munising we explored the tip of the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore along Lake Superior. We visited Miner’s Castle – a scenic rock outcropping above tropical-looking waters. Check out the colorful kayaks dotting the water below the cliffs.

But the real highlight was a visit to Camp Greenlee just outside Ishpeming with wonderful hospitality from all of Jill’s family. We sampled a variety of water sports: both kids got up on water skis (a first for both of them!), Nick tried out paddleboarding, and we all went out on a pontoon boat and took in the sunset. Rowan adored and was adored in turn by Sophie and Isabelle, 4-year-old twins. A memorable visit to a wonderful camp!

Day 7: St. Ignace MI to Ishpeming MI – 183 miles.
