In Early April Rick & I celebrated our 43rd anniversary
We decided to head to the UP of Michigan
We had never been to Michigan and especially wanted to visit the UP
We started our trip near Houghton MI at a sweet little VRBO cottage on Portage Lake.
It was still WINTER in upper Michigan but I wasnt mad about it!
It served up well
Living area
Kitchen
coffee bar
The recliner was the deciding factor on this place
extra bedroom
Portage Lake
This was our home base for 3 days as we explored the area.
We traveled up the left side hitting all the little towns and some sites to see.
I had recently torn a few muscles and ligaments in my Left hip area so there wasn't a lot of extended walking or hiking on this trip! Still, everything was beautiful
The lake was active
Got to see a few lighthouses,snow and waves
All the way to the top, Cooper Harbor
After a few days we ventured to Marquette...
we walked out to the end of the pier several times.
Another lighthouse
It was fun to find NMU
The Super Dome!
It is always open to the general public for walking...so we did
Long jump pit
Presque Isle Park
The photo doesn't do this area justice, it was so pretty
I wanted to find a unique place to eat, after talking to some locals we ended up at "The Vierling"
This Historic restaurant has been a focal point in downtown Marquette for over 140 years.
We enjoyed the ambience...
and the food
We highly recommend it
Despite the fact that I was a little laid-up, we had a great time exploring the UP of Michigan,
Next time we will go in the fall when the colors are know to be spectacular.
