Our trip to Paradise was awesome. It was the best vacation we have had in a long time. It didn't even seem to take that long to get there or to get back home and the scenery was beautiful. It's like you are in another country. Our cabin was a cozy little cabin about 50 ft. off of Lake Superior. We had a firepit, screened in porch, hammock (sooo relaxing) and the stars at night were so amazing. We went a long way across the U.P. and visited many different cities including Munising, Sault Saint Marie, Paradise, Seney, St. Ignace and others. We saw the Mystery Spot, Horseshoe Falls, Taquamenon Falls, canoed down the river, Oswald's Bear Ranch, Saw the Soo Locks, Whitefish Pointe and Lighthouse, and tons of others I can't even remember. While canoeing on the river we saw the lower falls and alot of animals, (two black bear cubs, 3 herron, common snapping turtle (huge!), water snake, deer in the river, ducks, chipmunk, eastern painted turtle, and an eagle's nest.
Maybe if I can I will post some pictures soon. I am definetly going back there in the fall and maybe even winter. I entered in a raffle for a 2005 Snowmobile. It is so bad ass! The drawing is November 9th. I would die if I won. I think maybe I would keep it for one winter season and then sell it for a sea-doo. I don't like the cold and we have more water around us. Only this is you need a trailer to haul them and a garage to store them so I will have to figure something out.
I'm glad I didn't go to Miami this week. That is scary thinking we were actually going to go there. It would have been a vacation from hell.
Anyway, lots of cuddling and love and a very, very relaxing week.
