We spent an amazing day in Copper Harbor today. It was the perfect Copper Harbor day; the sun was shining, the temps were hovering right around 72 degrees, and there was a nice breeze off of the lake. There were several other people out enjoying the weather, but it wasn't too crowded-just the way I like it.
We started our morning sharing a wild raspberry turnover from Jamsen's. You haven't had the true Copper Harbor if you haven't had one of their turnovers. This was Peaches first time having one and I think she really enjoyed it!
After breakfast, everyone went back to bed while I started to pack and prepare to leave Copper Harbor. Peaches really loved the beds at the King Copper and I think she is loving vacation.
Once I had finished packing the Jeep, we still had some time before we had to check out of our room, so we went to sit outside and enjoy the day. Surprisingly, the girls relaxed pretty quickly and gave me some time to work on a couple of crossword puzzles. It was a quiet, peaceful start to our day.
And then all too soon, it was time for us to leave. Luckily, we had more fun planned for the day. We enjoyed a nice walk around town, picked up lunch, and headed out to meet Bryce and Zi at Hunter's Point.
Hunter's Point Park is one of my favorite places in the Harbor. Portions of the walk are on the beach while other parts are a trail and there are so many interesting rock formations along the way. Then, when you reach the end, there is a great place to sit and enjoy the view of Porter's Island.
The girls always enjoy our walks here and I was glad to be able to get out for a walk there. A great time was had by all!
After a nice time at at Hunter's Point, we headed back to the car, said goodbye to Bryce and Zi, and prepared to leave Copper Harbor. We made a stop at Brockway Mountain and then took a nice drive along M-26 to head toward Houghton. I love taking that drive along Lake Superior in any season, but Summer is definitely my favorite.
After a quick stop at Esrey Park along the way, the girls settled in for the rest of the drive to the hotel.
We ended our night by attending the Keweenaw Bay Indian Community's Pow Wow in Baraga. It was an interesting time and we enjoyed a fry bread taco for dinner! Yum.
All of the excitement and people everywhere was too much for Peaches, so we left early, made a quick stop to enjoy Keweenaw Bay, and headed back to our hotel for the night. I couldn't have asked for a better day!
It's so hard to believe tonight is our last night on the road. In less than 12 hours, we will be heading home. We have a long day of travel ahead of us, but I'm looking forward to a couple of stops along the way.
