Munising

We left Mackinaw City on Tuesday July 5th and headed northwest to Munising.


Going over Mighty Mac

(that is the Byers' in front of us)


We stopped along Route 2 at the Garlyn Zoo for lunch. I am glad that we did because in doing so, we missed a semi & pick up truck fatality. The girls loved seeing all the different animals at the zoo. They had reindeer, black bears, turkey's, wolves, foxes and alligators!!!

Acelynn & Ava as the Zookeeper and Elk!


After our brief stop at the zoo we ventured on to Munising. As we came into Munising, Alger Falls greeted us on the side of the road. We stayed at the Munising Tourist Park along M-28. It is right on Lake Superior. We had a beautiful view of the lake from our campsite.


While we were there we went to see Miners Falls. It was a little bit of a hike back into the woods and surprisingly the girls did well and oh what a beautiful site it was when we got to the falls.


After we left Miners Falls we headed over to see Munising Falls. A little shorted hike, but just a beautiful!!!


Stacy and I decided to take Ava and Ellie to the beach in front of our campsite so they could play in the sand and for us to have a drink and relax. Well, it didn't take long for the girls to convince us to let them play in the water!!! So, they dropped their pants and off they went!!! Boy did they have a blast!!!!





What a beautiful sunset over Lake Superior!!!!






Our annual 4th of July family picture (only a couple days late)

Helping daddy find rocks, so he can skip them!!!



Well, we have found our new spot. We LOVED Munising!!!! We can not wait to go back next summer and do some more exploring of the other falls, Pictured Rocks and all the shipwrecks. Besides the fact that our campsite was just so peaceful. We felt like we were in paradise!!!!
