Madeline Island

This is my final post about our trip up north this summer. We left the cabin and took a day trip to Madeline Island in Lake Superior. We boarded the ferry.

The girls were so excited that we drove our car onto a boat!

We visited the Madeline Island Museum and learned about the history of the island.


We then spent the day at Big Bay State Park. The weather was like this when we arrived:

Within no time, it looked like this:

It was utterly magical!


The water was frigid (being Lake Superior), but it was crystal clear and so inviting... we decided to brave it.


It was such a peaceful day. We collected rocks (which we later polished in our tumbler), played in the sand, and splashed in the water.

The girls slept through the entire ferry ride on the way back, and most of the ride home.

A sign of a terrific journey!
