We had no clue what today would hold. But it turned out just perfect. This morning when I was up at 5:30 I took this picture, thinking the sun would be popping up anytime.
Well, almost an hour and half later this is where it actually came up. Oh, well. Still a pretty sight anytime you see a sunrise.
Nice pics Buddy took of our backyard wildlife this morning.
We drove about 25 miles from where we were staying to Bayfield, WI. This is where you take a cruise around the Apostle Islands. There are 20+ Islands in the area, and there was some very unique history with them. It was a 55 mile cruise and took just over 3 hours.
This is a view of the quaint little town of Bayfield.
This was one of the first islands that we saw that had a lot of sandstone. They would quarry blocks out to use for buildings as high as 7 stories.
This was Devil's Island. The outer Island of the Apostles. There were lots of caves formed from the years of wear from Lake Superior. The history of this lake is amazing with all the shipwrecks.
Looks like a nice garage for boats.
Very unusual formations.
This is the lighthouse on Devil's Island
This lighthouse was on Raspberry Island. The couple that was sitting in front of us on the cruise, had stayed at this place for a week 47 years ago.
We rode a ferry over to Madeline Island to eat lunch. The population of the island is around 200 full timers and over 2,500 in the summer months.
This is the route we took today. You can see the Apostle Islands that we toured via boat on the right side. The largest Island is the one we went to to eat lunch. If we had wings or a boat we could have been where we are tonight in about 30 minutes. Instead it took about 2 1/2 hrs. I wish I had thought to do this in my earlier blogs, so you can actually see where we are. Mainly for my niece (Jessica) which is a world traveler. Tomorrow we are off to BEAR COUNTRY.

Your other neice loves it too! It's nice to have a visual of where you actually are! Looks like so much fun. I love those caves and rocks, they are absolutely beautiful.
Love the pics! It looks like dad likes having the camera! HAHA
So glad ya'll are having a good time-you both deserve it!
Very neat caves and caverns! In Europe I tracked our travels on a map, and through the move from college to the apartment, then from the apartment to mom's newest house, somehow all that Europe stuff got lost. :( Maybe I should just get a new map (or maybe an ATLAS!) and retrace my route. :)
Love the pictures! I bet WI is nice now, but I can't imagine how cold it is by the lakes in the dead of winter! Burrrrr!
Love you!
