UP day 3

The winds (and temperatures) were dramatically different this morning and we were able to enjoy the glass bottom shipwreck tour.

We were able to view three different wrecks on the 2.5 hour cruise.

We spent the rest of the day traveling west to Marquette.
Along the way, we stopped at roadside beaches
to admire the view of Lake Superior.



One of the highlights of our day was watching a freighter
come into dock in Marquette.
The size of the ship was amazing.


We'll be heading back south tomorrow.
It's been a beautiful trip.


XOXO

    Loved those big freighters we watched those every evening. Last year in Grand Marais we were lucky enough to watch the schooners. Beautiful...Those beaches you all visited are lovely. I do hope you are able to get all that sand out of your boot! I think I still have sand in my car from last year. Smiles...Renee

    Sounds like you've all had a great time, Kim! I've never taken the glass bottom boat tour, but we did do the Pictured Rocks tour a few years ago and loved it! Looks like you are enjoying cooler temps up there:)

    I went back and got all caught up on all your vacation posts. I'm so happy you guys had a good time. And you made it through with your foot too! I haven't been to Mackinac since I was a kid, but I do remember the huge bridge. I was terrified all the way across it.

    I think it would be so fascinating to view old shipwrecks from a glass bottom boat! There was one in Catalina where we just visited!
    Blessings,
    Janet

    Looks like such a lovely trip!
    I've never been there before!
    Lake Superior looks massive (hence the name Superior---I imagine!).
