Our UP vacation!

We took a wonderful 8 day vacation to the UP. The kids LOVED every minute of it....I might have been crabby a time or two but everyone else was awesome! We started on July 28th stopping in St. Ignace for the night and going to see a lumberjack show. Afterward we found a little park and let the kids dip their feet in the lake...you can see the bridge very distantly in the pics. The next day we packed up and went west to Baraga. Stopping in Ishpeming on the way to see Da Yoopers (what a hoot!). On the 30th we drove to Copper Harbor. On the way we stopped at the Quincy Mines in Hancock MI. While in Copper Harbor we went to Fort Wilkins, saw the Copper Harbor light house and drove on the famous Brockway Mountain Drive. Just beautiful!!! Saturday we were off to our traditional stop of Brimley, where we met up with the rest of the Rottier clan.



































We were pretty busy when we were in Brimley too! We went to Tahquamenon Falls, Sault Ste. Marie and Mackinac Island. On our way back home we stopped at Point Iroqouis Lighthouse and also at Castlerock in St. Ignace...big time tourist trap. We finally got home on the 4th at 6pm. Exhausted and happy to be home, but what a GREAT vacation we had!!!
