We pulled out of the Sawbill Lake area around 2pm or so. Actually, I'm not too sure, but it was mid-afternoon. We traveled southwest along the Superior Lakeshore, and went to the Split Rock Lighthouse.
It was real interesting to learn its history on the 15 minute walking tour. We were able to go up and see the big big Fresnel lens.
I was impressed.
We took a hike down a trail to get to a long set of steps that takes us down to the cold lake. Here, the kiddos demonstrate their fake muscles with a low hanging tree.
A bunch of steps to get down to the Lake Superior!
Big boulders and a stiff breeze here.
We were all famished. I think I was about ready to faint. We found a great place called Betty's Pies near Two Harbors, MN. I had the fish sandwich, and the bumbleberry pie - a mix of fruits. Just what the doctor ordered.
The next day, we traveled to near Appleton Wisconsin (with a side excursion in Eau Claire to pick up a forgotten security blanket for Kiddo #3 at the hotel from a week ago). We stayed with my ol' college buddy, and his great family. They showed us a wonderful time, with awesome meals, and it was just perfect. We left their home on Thursday morning, traveled through some crazy thunderstorms in Milwaukee, toured the Jelly Belly joint near Racine, and home finally around 9pm. It was a great trip.
