Dad and Mom's Mini-Vacation!

With Nick off to Crooked Creek for a week with the Young Life Crew, Jeff working at Inspiration Point Bible Camp this summer and Lindsay married and living in Bismarck, Richard and I found ourselves in an "empty nest" for a week. So, we decided to take a mini-vacation. We were headed to Family Camp at Inspiration Point later in the week (pictures to soon follow) so we decided to vacation the entire week. Our first stop was Bayfield , Wisconsin.
I had always heard about this pretty little town in northern Wisconsin and so we decided to go find it. This is the cabin we spent our first night in. It was very cozy with a fireplace and we used it!
This is the view you can catch of Bayfield as you leave the waterfront area.
This is the small ferry we took over to Madeline Island.
Once we arrived on the island we decided it was time to try out exploring the island via mopeds. This was a ton of fun!
We worked up an appetite riding around the island so we stopped in and enjoyed some very good pizza at Grandpa Tony's!
We never stay too long in one spot so the next few nights we spent north of Duluth in a beautiful lodge. All the rooms looked over Lake Superior. We enjoyed the view!
We thought these chairs were fun so we stopped for a picture.
Split Rock Lighthouse was a fun place to spend a morning. We did some hiking up in the goose berry falls area. I love to spend time on the water whenever I can. We enjoyed a little canoeing one morning. We came home just long enough to wash a few clothes and pack up for a week-end at Inspiration Point. It was a great week.
