I left Minneapolis on Monday the 23rd. I had an enjoyable drive through beautiful country to Marinette, WI. (Google Maps shows a Cheesehead when you cross into Wisconson! 😅)
I stayed at a lovely B&B called the Laureman House. It was charming the the Innkeeper is a very interesting woman who also has a B&B in France (she goes back and forth) and a Victorian Inn in Marinette (which was her childhood home).

Did you know that people who live in the UP call themselves "Yoopers"? I cracked up - but I saw a big billboard, so it must be true!!
From Marinette I had a nice drive along Lake Michigan to St. Ignace, MI. The colors are starting to get really pretty. I had lunch at a grill overlooking Lake Huron, where the Ferries depart for Mackinac Island. The weather is rainy and chilly, so I'll have to come back another time to take the ferry over. It's not very appealing today.

Tomorrow I'm heading north to see the Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum, the Whitefish Point Light Station which has been in use since Abraham Lincoln's time, and the Soo Locks that allow freighters to navigate between Lake Superior and Lake Huron. There is also a maritime museum there, so it should be interesting! And, if I have time, I want to see Tahquamenon Falls. Lots to do tomorrow!!!
